NEW YORK - Ms Bianca Rudolph, an American big game hunter, travelled with her husband to Zambia, in southern Africa, in 2016, determined to add a leopard to her trophy collection.

Ms Rudolph died of a fatal shotgun blast"straight on the heart" in a remote hunting cabin where the couple had been staying, according to court documents.

Authorities arrested Lawrence Rudolph, 67, in late December and charged him with one count of murder of a US national in a foreign country and one count of mail fraud, according to the newly unsealed court documents. Investigators said that Lawrence Rudolph was having an extramarital affair at the time of his wife's death and had made adjustments to the life insurance policies for her that same year.

A hunting guide and a game scout told investigators that they rushed to the Rudolphs' cabin on the morning of Oct 11, 2016, after hearing a gunshot and found Ms Rudolph bleeding from the left side of her chest. The top consular official told an FBI investigator that Lawrence Rudolph had inquired about Zambia's privacy laws and pushed to have his wife's body cremated immediately, saying it would be"challenging" to have it flown to the United States.
