After serving time for hiring a hitman to murder his ex-wife, “As I Lay Dying”‘s Tim Lambesis apologises

"I could have handled this a thousand different ways"

Newsroom October 19 02:00

Paroled in 2016 after serving two years of a six-year prison sentence imposed when he pleaded guilty to trying to hire a hitman in 2013 to murder his ex-wife, As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis now admits that, on reflection, he could have handled his marital strife in “a thousand different ways.”

A year on from his 2012 divorce from his ex-wife Meggan, the Greek-American singer attempted to hire a hitman to murder his ex: the ‘hitman’ turned out to be an undercover police officer.

On the anniversary of his release, the singer apologised to his ex-wife, children, family, friends, bandmates and fans, saying “Words cannot begin to express how deeply sorry I am for the hurt that I have caused. There is no defence for what I did, and I look back on the person I became with as much disdain as many of you likely do.
