Indictment: Contractor tried to kill witnesses

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A military contractor under investigation on allegations
he overbilled and did faulty repair work on Navy and Army aircraft has
been indicted on charges he attempted to kill two witnesses in the case.

A federal grand jury Wednesday handed up the indictment against Keith
Shaw, 55, the owner of Shaw Aero Instruments in Louisville.

At a preliminary hearing in August, witnesses testified that Shaw offered
to pay his son $100,000 to kill two former employees of Shaw Aero
Instruments, because the pair were providing information and evidence to
law enforcement officers related to criminal investigations of some of
Shaw’s alleged fraudulent business practices.

Shaw is scheduled to appear for arraignment Sept. 28 before the U.S.
magistrate judge.
