Conspiracy grows
Murder for insurance ring broken up
As many as 24 alleged conspirators could face charges in connection with a 
massive scheme to murder Guyanese immigrants for insurance money, 
law-enforcement sources told The New York Post Wednesday.
"The conspiracy is extensive. Others, not yet identified . . . 
participated," Assistant U.S. Attorney John Curran argued in court papers 
made public yesterday at a bail hearing for one alleged culprit, Ronald 
Mallay.
Mallay, an unemployed Queens man, is accused of recruiting hit men and 
collecting insurance money as part of the murder-for-hire scheme that 
sources say targeted at least seven victims - and probably more.
Also accused of murder conspiracy is Richard James, a Queens insurance 
agent who allegedly wrote policies for numerous "customers" who died under 
suspicious circumstances.
Mallay, 57, was denied bail in Brooklyn federal court, where prosecutors 
revealed the results of a search of his wife Lazina's Queens apartment.
Investigators said they found five insurance policies, including $1.5 
million in coverage for a man whose occupation is listed as a flea-market 
clothing salesman - and whom prosecutors have not been able to locate.
