TRENTON, N.J. — The wife of a New Jersey man whose body was hacked up, put in three suitcases and dumped in the ocean last year was arrested Thursday morning in the death.
Melanie McGuire, 32, of Brick, will be charged Thursday afternoon with first-degree murder in the death of her husband, William T. McGuire, said John R. Hagerty, spokesman for the state Division of Criminal Justice.
McGuire was killed April 29, 2004, Hagerty said. His dismembered body was found in his own matching luggage in the Chesapeake Bay near Norfolk, Va.
Hagerty said authorities believe Melanie McGuire shot her husband in the chest and torso before the body was dissected and placed in suitcases that were dumped off the Virginia coast. He said additional arrests were anticipated, but refused to elaborate.
The couple was about to move into an expensive new home in Warren County when his wife said they had a fight and William McGuire, 39, stormed out of their Woodbridge apartment. She filed for divorce three weeks after McGuire's car was found abandoned in Atlantic City, claiming her husband was abusive and had a gambling problem.
The McGuires have two sons, ages 4 and 5.
"I am just so stunned," McGuire's sister, Nancy Taylor, said Thursday. "It doesn't bring him back, but at least justice will be served."

Then we got people like scott peterson, does a great job covering his tracks then leads LEO's to where he dumped the body.
She must have really hated him!
I'm sure it was an accident.
There are so many efficient ways of getting rid of a body so it will never be found. I guess stupid should be painful if not incarcerated.
It amazes me out cops and detectives can recreate a crime and find the perps from just scraps of evidence.
She just wanted piece and quiet.
Yikes.

Hmmm,

I can't believe it took them over a year to finally figure out that she did it.
Or Greta Van Cistern......
She should have just checked the luggage on a Delta Airlines flight. It would have never been located.
Yeah, for women.
It's better than you guys gettin' hacked to bits too ;)
Perhaps he just slipped and fell on a chain saw after he was sloppily cleaning his gun, and she was afraid she would get blamed. So she sent him packing!
Hey, I thought of you this morning while I was ironing my shirt & my wifes blouse.
