Her husband, Jules Reich, 61, a Wall Street executive was charged with second-degree murder, the paper said Thursday.
Scarsdale police Capt. Thomas Altizio suggested police knew the motive for the horrifying crime.
“This is not a random act. This was an isolated incident,” he told the paper.
The couple, who were embroiled in a divorce, belonged to Young Israel of Scarsdale congregation in New Rochelle, a modern Orthodox congregation. They were also active in the Westchester Jewish Council.
Neighbor Roberta Graf told the Journal News called the couple “fine, upstanding people.”
“I’m just shocked to know this could happen,” she said.
