‘Someday u will find me dead’

Parvaiz, who had been living in East Boston, was charged yesterday with the murder of his wife in a conspiracy with Antionette Stephen, 26, of Billerica.

“Within hours of this crime, it was obvious to investigators that this was sadly the alleged handiwork of the victim’s husband who allegedly did the unthinkable and plotted to murder his wife, after a religious celebration,’’ said Robert A. Bianchi, the prosecutor from Morris County, in a statement.

“That this matter was so well thought out, planned, plotted, and orchestrated is chilling to say the least,’’ he said.

The case has similarities to the case of Stuart, who shot his pregnant wife, Carol, to death after they left childbirth classes at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in October 1989 and shot himself as part of his cover story.

He blamed the shootings on a black gunman, setting off police searches in Boston’s black neighborhoods.

Stuart’s story fell apart, and as authorities began to close in on him, he jumped off the Tobin Bridge three months later, killing himself.

Parvaiz initially told authorities who found him lying on the street that he had been shot by a black man, a white man, and a third unknown man, who shouted slurs about terrorists.

Noorani is from Pakistan; Parvaiz’s origin was not clear yesterday.

But he later changed his story, describing his attackers as three black men, according to authorities in New Jersey.

He also told authorities he had scheduled a flight back to Boston that evening, though family members said he planned to drive.

Police said that once Parvaiz’s story unraveled, he confessed to Captain Jeffrey Paul of the Morris County, N.J., prosecutor’s office.

The charges affirmed the worst fears of Noorani’s family, about a husband they said beat his wife and engaged in extramarital affairs.

Family members and friends said they doubted Parvaiz’s story of a hate crime from the beginning, because the close-knit Pakistani community had never experienced tension with others in Boonton.
