Eva Zamecnikova

The third missing female fugitive is Czech national Eva Zámečníková, 41, who is wanted in Slovakia after being sentenced in absentia to eight years in prison for hiring an assassin to kill her ex-husband.

In January 2014 the florist arranged to pay her friend Martin Adamkovič €50,000 to kill her husband- a soldier whom she had been married to for only two months- supposedly with the intention of declaring him missing after two years and acquiring his property.

She allegedly acquired a gun to carry out the murder but it did not work and so she changed her plan and told Mr Adamkovič he would have to strangle her husband with a rope.

But he instead turned her in to the police and helped them stage the murder in order to obtain enough evidence.

Mr Adamkovič later became a crown witness in her murder trial and claimed that Zámečníková was in part motivated by the fact that she no longer wanted to ‘feed her husband’.

Zámečníková denied guilt and claimed Adamkovič wanted revenge on her for refusing to lend him money. She insisted that no evidence corroborated the information about the planned murder and the said reward.
