Husband of slaying victim Barbara Hamburg jailed

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut man whose wife was killed in a still-unsolved homicide in 2010 has been jailed for not paying a $138,000 debt he owes to her estate.

The New Haven Register reports  that a state judge in New Haven ordered 63-year-old Jeffrey Hamburg jailed Wednesday. Judge Bernadette Conway said Hamburg hasn't paid any of the debt despite being able to afford a Park Avenue apartment in Manhattan and five overseas trips.

Forty-eight-year-old Barbara Hamburg was found dead outside her Madison home in March 2010. Police questioned Jeffrey Hamburg, but no arrests have been made.

Hamburg was charged in September with stealing $100,000 from his two children's bank accounts.

Hamburg told the judge he can't find a job or get any loans. He's due back in court Feb. 14.
