A Delaware woman who believed her husband was having an affair with a Villanova University official broke into her home earlier this week — possibly while in disguise — and then shot her in the head with a revolver as she came through the front door, police say.
The shooting of 33-year-old Meredith Chapman on Monday night in Radnor Township, outside of Philadelphia, by Jennair Gerardot, 47, was a meticulously-planned execution, officials said.
“You had a man who was married who was having an affair with this other woman,” Police Superintendent William Colarulo said, according to The Associated Press. “The wife knew about it, and this was a calculated, planned attack.”
Officials believe Gerardot may have disguised herself and taken a train from Delaware, since a wig and other clothing not belonging to Chapman were found in a bag inside the house.
