Erik Charles Maund of the Maud Automotive Group has been arrested for allegedly paying three hitmen $750k to kill his mistress Holly Williams and hide their love affair.
The cops arrested Erik Charles Maund last Friday at the Austin Bergstrom International Airport “for hiring a former member of the Israeli Defense Forces and two former marines to murder Holly Williams.”
Here is the story via The NY Post.
A married Texas businessman paid special forces-trained hitmen $750,000 to murder his mistress and her new boyfriend after they threatened to expose his cheating, according to federal prosecutors.
Erik Charles Maund was busted Friday in connection to the murders of Holly Williams, 33, and her partner William Lanway, who were found riddled with bullets in Nashville, Tenn., in March 2020.
Maund — a partner in his family’s auto dealership in Austin — had arranged to see Williams, with whom he “had a prior relationship,” during a trip to Nashville in February 2020, the indictment said.
After the rendezvous, Williams’ new man, Lanway, 36, started sending texts “demanding payment from Maund and threatened to expose his relationship with [Williams] if he did not receive it,” the feds said.
Maund immediately hired Gilad Peled, a 47-year-old former member of the Israeli Defense Forces and Mossad, according to the indictment.
Peled allegedly worked with two ex-active duty Marines with special ops backgrounds: Bryon Brockway, 46, from Austin, and Adam Carey, 30, of North Carolina.
Brockway and Carey ultimately snatched the couple outside their apartment building in Nashville — murdering Lanway on the spot, “shooting him multiple times including two shots to his head one of which was near his right temple,” the indictment said.
My goodness, this sounds like a Jason Bourne than a regular day in Texas.
The four men involved have been charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping, kidnapping resulting in death, and carrying, brandishing, and discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.
