Maria Moore, 53, and Marvel Salvant, 49, were convicted of murdering Dominic Sarkar, 56, over $800,000 in life insurance policies.
OAKLAND — An Alameda County jury convicted a man and woman of murdering a Fremont resident over $800,000 in life insurance, a crime that the hitman received only $500 for, prosecutors announced.
Maria Moore, 53, and Marvel Salvant, 49, were convicted of murdering Dominic Sarkar, 56, in the Oct. 8, 2018 shooting at Sarkar’s Fremont home. Moore was listed as Sarkar’s domestic partner and acquired two life insurance policies, for $500,000 and $300,000, with plans to pocket the money after his death, prosecutors argued at trial.
Salvant was linked to the crime because his car was seen parking near Sarkar’s home shortly before the crime and leaving a short time later. Sarkar’s attorneythat authorities focused on Sarkar when there was stronger evidence another man was responsible. Both were convicted of first degree murder with special circumstances and face a life sentence. They have been scheduled for sentencing on March 8, prosecutors said.
Other evidence included wiretapped conversations, including recordings are Salvant saying he committed “a cardinal sin.” Moore also told authorities that she and Sarkar only had an occasional relationship, raising suspicion as to why he was listed as her domestic partner. Authorities later discovered she took steps to remove Sarkar’s daughters as the sole beneficiaries to the $300,000 policy, and replace them with herself, before his death.
