Two Richland residents are sitting in the Yakima County jail today on charges of solicitation to commit murder after their arrests on Saturday. According to the the yakima county sheriff's office investigators received a tip earlier this month that A 49-year-old male and a 33-year-old female were trying to hire someone to kill the ex-husband of the female involved.
On Saturday, the two suspects met with an undercover officer in Yakima who acted as a hit man. During the recorded meeting the suspects repeatedly expressed their desires for the murder to happen giving the undercover officer pictures and addresses of their intended victim. At the end of the meeting the two suspects provided the "hit man" with money to initiate carrying out their murder plot. But both were arrested and now await a hearing before a Yakima County Superior Court Judge on charges of solicitation to commit murder.
