Georgia man accused of killing wife’s divorce lawyer and setting office on fire

Investigators booked Allen Tayeh on counts of malice murder and arson after body of attorney Doug Lewis was found inside building

A Georgia divorce attorney was recently shot to death - and his office was set on fire - by a client's estranged husband in an extreme example of how contentious US family court cases can get, according to authorities.

Police in the community of Lawrenceville allege that Allen Tayeh went to the office of a lawyer representing a woman in the process of divorcing him and shot the attorney, Doug Lewis, there on 7 December.
