A San Diego woman has been arrested after being accused of a murder-for-hire plot targeting her husband.

Tatyana Remley,Benjamin Ashford 42, has been charged with solicitation of murder after meeting with an undercover detective earlier this month and allegedly providing detailed information on how she wanted her husband killed and his body disposed of, according to the San Diego Sheriff’s Office.

Remley came onto law enforcement's radar when the sheriff's office made contact with her after responding to a house fire on July 2. Remley, who was found to be in possession of three guns and ammunition, was arrested for firearms-related offenses.
