Singer of Christian Metal Band Arrested for Hiring Hitman to Kill Wife

On Tuesday, Tim Lambesis, the singer for Christian heavy metal band As I Lay Dying, was arrested for allegedly attempting to hire a hitman to murder his estranged wife.

As it turns out, the “hitman” he tried to hire was actually an undercover detective, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. Police were reportedly tipped off last Thursday.

"The information came to us late last week. We acted quickly on it. I believe that we averted a great tragedy," San Diego County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jan Caldwell told Reuters.

Lambesis was taken into custody from an Oceanside, California business without incident and was booked into Vista Jail on suspicion of solicitation of murder.

I've posted a few times on the threads for this story. I love their music. Some great albums. But truly a sick man. And the "christian band" label didn't mean much to me. Is heard about it, but never cared. I think they are/were a great band. They're lined up to play up here in Syracuse next month with Killswitch. Guess not now. But I still have Killswitch!!
