GUILTY CA - Quee Chadwick, 46, found deceased, Newport Beach, 9 Oct 2012 *husband arrested in 2019*

@Legally Bland - maybe a bit too early - but wondering if there is another court hearing date for Chadwick? And he probably pled not guilty at his arraignment hearing, eh?

TIA!

I'll check the court site in a bit, there's a report from yesterday:

Peter Chadwick, 57, is expected to plead guilty in the 2012 strangulation of his wife, Quee Choo Lim Chadwick, 46, known as Q.C. The motive, authorities said, was a dispute over a possible divorce and related financial issues.

From the article:

Chadwick, who had been expected to enter the plea on Friday, is in quarantine in jail, so the hearing was rescheduled for Thursday, [1/20/22].

Surprised that he is pleading guilty - good - saves taxpayers some $$. Wonder

And thanks @Legally Bland !

Anyone else local? Any news on his plea - and maybe sentencing date?

TIA if you can find something! :)
 
Still not coming up with any current articles to let me know - if he plead guilty - and if he was sentenced or has a sentencing hearing.

Finally:

Nearly 10 years after Quee Choo Lim Chadwick’s body was discovered in a gas station trash bin in Lakeside, her husband, Peter Gregory Chadwick, pleaded guilty to her murder Wednesday afternoon in a hushed Santa Ana courtroom.

Chadwick, 57, was stoic as he was led into the courtroom, then sat hunched over next to his counsel. He later broke down in tears as victim impact statements from Quee Choo Lim Chadwick’s older sister and brother were read by District Atty. Jennifer Walker.

[...]

Orange County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Menninger sentenced Chadwick to 15 years to life in state prison as part of a plea agreement. He initially faced a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in state prison when re-captured after jumping bail in 2019.

Detail of a poster on display of fugitive Peter Chadwick's murdered wife, Quee Choo Chadwick and their son.
A detail of a poster on display at the Orange County district attorney’s office in Santa Ana, Calif. on Aug. 6, 2019 of former fugitive Peter Chadwick’s murdered wife, Quee Choo “Q.C.”

He is also expected to pay restitution to be decided on at a later date.

Prosecutors alleged that Chadwick strangled his 46-year-old wife at their Newport Coast home on Oct. 10, 2012, while their children were at school, wrapped her in a comforter and dumped her body before calling the San Diego Police Department.

When questioned, he initially claimed that a handyman killed Quee Choo Chadwick, kidnapped him and forced him to drive her body to the border. Police doubted it, due in part to the scratches and bruises on his neck and dried blood on his hands.
