AN American woman was granted $100,000 cash bail after she and two Bahamian men were accused last week of being a part of a plot to kill her insurance executive husband.

Lindsay Shiver, 36, of Thomasville, Georgia, and Abaco locals Terrance Bethel, 28, and Faron Newbold Jr, 29, made an emergency bail application before Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson.

The trio were charged last Friday with conspiracy to commit murder.

The accused allegedly plotted to kill Mrs Shiver’s husband, Robert, in Abaco on July 16.

Authorities reportedly discovered the plot while investigating another crime in Guana Cay after a phone was seized.

Mr Shiver reportedly filed for divorce from his wife after allegedly uncovering the alleged affair between Mrs Shiver and one of her co-conspirators.

Justice Grant-Thompson granted Mrs Shiver cash bail at $100,000 on condition she surrender her passport and remain in her residence in Abaco. The two Bahamian conspirators were granted bail at $20,000 each.

All three defendants are expected to sign in at the Marsh Harbour Police Station thrice weekly.

The trio will be fitted with electronic monitoring devices.

Ian Cargill, K Melvin Munroe, Cassie Bethel and Alphonso Lewis represent the defendants.
