MERRICK, N.Y., Dec. 3 (UPI) -- A Long Island woman accused of murdering her husband for his money apparently wasn't aware he was virtually broke.

Sources told the New York Post Monday Michael Forbes had only boasted of being wealthy to impress his younger wife, who now stands accused of strangling him last month.

The Post said the house in Merrick and Forbes's expensive car were in the name of Forbes's parents, meaning that Kelly Forbes would inherit nothing after he died.

The Post said Forbes, 50, was killed Nov. 21. He was apparently suspicious that 29-year-old Kelly was cheating on him. Kelly Forbes's lawyer has denied the allegations.
