SCARSDALE, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 The husband of a pediatrician at a New York City children\u2019s hospital was charged with murder after she was found stabbed in a shower at their multimillion-dollar suburban home, authorities said Thursday.<\/p>\n
Jules Reich, a tax specialist at a New York City firm, was arraigned Wednesday night in Scarsdale village court on a second-degree murder charge, according to the Westchester County district attorney\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
His 58-year-old wife, Dr. Robin Goldman, was found dead on Wednesday. Police responded after receiving a 911 call of a woman seriously injured at the five-bedroom, four-bath property, which sits on 1.29 acres. An autopsy was planned, but she suffered multiple stab wounds, the prosecutor\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n
Public records show that Reich had petitioned for divorce in August.<\/p>\n
Goldman was a pediatrician affiliated with the Children\u2019s Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and a faculty member at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.<\/p>\n
\u201cRobin was a dedicated physician cherished by her colleagues as a positive and compassionate presence,\u201d Montefiore hospital said. \u201cHer passion for medicine was an inspiration to those who worked with her. Her passing is a great loss for all of us, and we extend our heartfelt sympathy to her family, friends, patients, colleagues and students.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Scarsdale court clerk could not immediately provide the name of an attorney who could comment on Reich\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n
According to his LinkedIn page, Reich was a partner at the Manhattan accounting firm of WeiserMazars LLP, which he joined in August 2014. A call to the firm seeking comment was not immediately returned.<\/p>\n
Previously, Reich spent 20 years at the accounting and consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. He graduated from New York University law school and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a community, we are grief stricken and our hearts are filled with pain to know that Robin, who was so good, so sweet and so pious has so suddenly been taken from us,\u201d said a statement from the Modern Orthodox Young Israel of Scarsdale, the synagogue Goldman attended.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is very sad,\u201d Martin Molot, 85, a Scarsdale neighbor, told the Daily News. Reich \u201cis a nice guy. He seemed so level-headed.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the first homicide in Scarsdale in nearly four decades.<\/p>\n
The last killing was in 1977 when Yale senior Bonnie Garland was bludgeoned to death in her home. Her ex-boyfriend, Yale graduate Richard Herrin, was convicted of manslaughter.<\/p>\n
