NASSAU, BAHAMAS- Thomasville resident Lindsay Shiver is under arrest after Bahamian Police said they uncovered a plot crafted by her and two men to kill her estranged husband, Robert Shiver.

According to Bahamas Court News, police arrested Shiver, 36, along with her lover Terrance Bethel, 28, of Guana Cay, Abaco and suspected hitman Farron Newbold Jr., 28, of the Bahamas.

A source familiar with the investigation said the Shivers have a home in the Bahamas, where Lindsay first began an affair with Bethel. Upon Robert finding out about the suspected affair, he filed for divorce.
