DOVER, Del. (AP) The ex-husband of a woman who was slain in a murder-suicide in Pennsylvania stemming from a love triangle should be forced to relinquish proceeds he received from her individual life insurance policies, a Delaware court official has determined.
But a Chancery Court master also ruled Monday that Meredith Sullivan’s ex-husband, Luke Chapman, is entitled to keep the proceeds from her University of Delaware group life insurance policy.
The ruling involved conflicting state laws and came in a case of first impression, meaning it involved a novel issue that had never been addressed previously by a Delaware court. It was handed down exactly three years to the day that Chapman filed for divorce from Sullivan.
