The Winnipeg Free Press reported this afternoon that Melody Sanford, the ex-wife of Canadian independent wrestler Ivan (John) Radocaj, who performed as "The Croatian Giant, was officially charged with first-degree murder. She had previously been charged with conspiracy to commit murder. If convicted, she faces 25 years in prison without any chance of parole. Radocaj was beaten to death in September 2007 at the age of 43. Sanford and Radocaj were married for three brief weeks. Radocaj's family claimed that his she had threatened Ivan's life several weeks prior to the murder and that believed she had coerced him into the brief marriage to get her hands on an insurance settlement stemming from a car accident that left Radocaj with a broken neck. Sanford claimed in interviews in 2008 she and Radocaj had reconciled before his death, something his family said they knew nothing about. Several others have also been charged in regard to the murder, Rita Louise Cushnie, a friend of Sanford, has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Cushnie is the mother of one of three men charged with first-degree murder in Radocaj's death, Donald Richard, 31. Daniel Richard, 22, and Timothy Richard, 20 have also been charged in the murder.
