Sounds like the ex-wife put out a hit on him.

I agree.

That would be my guess too, that the ex-wife is behind the hit.

She's lucky that Hammurabi's law code is no longer in force.

"If a seignor's wife has brought about the death of her husband because of another man, they shall impale that woman on stakes."
