Michigan man charged with first-degree murder for 'forcing a handyman to strangle and kill his wife'

A man accused of forcing a handyman to strangle his wife was charged with first-degree murder Wednesday, 15 months after the discovery of her body in a Detroit alley stirred fear that she was a victim of a random abduction from a comfortable suburb. The charges against Robert Bashara were not unexpected. Nonetheless, it was another extraordinary turn in the death of Jane Bashara, a 56-year-old marketing executive from Grosse Pointe Park. 'I don't know if I'd use the word strange,' Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said when asked to sum up the investigation. 'I would use the word different, and certainly a case that has a lot of tentacles.' The handyman, Joseph Gentz, is serving a 17-year prison sentence after admitting he killed Jane Bashara. But he insists he acted on the threats and orders of her husband.
