Áurea Vázquez Rijos: Beauty queen jailed for husband's murder
18 March 2019
A Puerto Rican woman has received a life prison sentence for hiring a hitman to murder her wealthy Canadian husband 14 years ago.
Áurea Vázquez Rijos, who fled to Europe after the killing, professed her innocence as she learned her fate.
Vázquez Rijos had fled to Italy and Spain after watching her husband, Adam Anhang, fatally knifed on the streets of San Juan in September 2005.
In court she angrily told the victim's father: "I hope you're happy now."
"Shut up!" responded 80-year-old Abraham Anhang after he was accused of character assassination by the former beauty queen.
