Newly wed Nigerian woman kills American husband just to get his Insurance money but it backfires on her

A newlywed Nigerian woman, 45 year old Uloma 
Curry-Walker, who was accused of soliciting her firefighter husband's murder in order to collect $100,000 in insurance money has been convicted of aggravated murder. As
 God will have it, she wasted her husband's life for nothing because his ex-wife was still the beneficiary of his Insurance policy.

Uloma could receive life in prison without parole for the
November 2013 murder of her late William Walker, 
whom she had married just four months prior.

Jurors deliberated for less than two hours before coming 
back with the verdict Friday,Prosecutors said Uloma was 
way over her head after running up tens of thousands of dollars in debt when she asked her then-17- year-old 
daughter and her daughter's boyfriend to find someone
to kill her husband so she could collect the insurance money.

According to court testimony, Uloma gave the boyfriend,
 Chad Padgett, a $1,000 down payment to carry out the murder.

Padgett then contacted his cousin Chris Hein, who initially failed in his attempt to kill Walker. Hein then turned to Ryan Dorty to carry out the murder.

Prosecutors said Dorty ambushed Walker and shotshot
 him four times as he returned home from getting fast 
food that Uloma had ordered.

She and her husband were packing the night he was 
killed for a move to a house they had purchased outside Cleveland.

The daughter, Padgett, Hein and Dorty testified against 
Uloma at trial as part of plea deal for their roles in the 
murder conspiracy.

Hein agreed to a sentence of 18 years to life; Padgett
 28 years to life; and Dorty 23 years to life. Prosecutors 
agreed not to seek adult charges against Uloma's 17 year 
old daughter due to her age. They only sentenced her to a month in a juvenile detention center.

The daughter testified at trial that her mother told her:

'No one would believe I would hire a bunch of kids to kill
someone when I know people that could.' Uloma wrote a
confession the day she surrendered to police that said
she killed her husband because he was abusive.

But a police investigation found that Uloma's plan to 
collect the Insurance money was futile because her late husband had not yetchanged the beneficiary on the
 insurance policy from his ex- wife's name to Uloma's 
when he was killed, so it was the ex- wife who received the money, she so desperately wanted.

Sentencing for Uloma is scheduled for Aug. 8.
