The estranged husband of Jennifer Dulos, a mother of five who went missing from her home in an affluent area of Connecticut last year, was arrested Tuesday and charged with her murder, his lawyer said.
The husband, Fotis Dulos, 52, was arrested at his home in Farmington, Connecticut, around 11am, said the lawyer, Norm Pattis. He was being held on a $6 million (Dh22 million) bond and was due in court Wednesday, Pattis said.
Authorities were also seeking to serve two other warrants in the case, Pattis said. One was for a murder charge, and the other was for conspiracy to commit murder. Pattis said he could not provide further details.
Connecticut State Police did not respond to questions but said they would provide an update later Tuesday afternoon.
Jennifer Dulos’ disappearance launched a statewide search that had law enforcement agencies looking for her across much of Connecticut last year.
