Stamford Love Triangle Murder Conviction Upheld

The state Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of a woman whose ex-husband testified at trial about incriminating statements she made to him about a Stamford love triangle murder case.

Sheila Davalloo’s self-incriminating statements to her then husband did not meet state legal requirements to be considered confidential, according to the Connecticut Law Tribune. The ruling was released Dec. 31.

The justices reportedly believed Davalloo made the statements so she could romance another man, and plan the murder of the Stamford woman she considered a romantic rival.

“In short, the defendant made statements to [her husband] that were indisputably not induced by affection or loyalty and, in the end, engaged in the ultimate betrayal of the spousal relationship, attempting to murder her husband,” wrote Chief Justice Chase Rogers, according to the Law Tribune.

Davalloo’s love triangle started in the early 2000s. While employed by Purdue Pharma, Davalloo became romantically involved with a co-worker and covered for her time spent with the man by telling her husband she was caring for her sick brother, according to the report.

During their affair, the male co-worker because involved with another Purdue Pharma co-worker, ended the affair with Davalloo and moved in with the other co-worker.

The love triangle was uncovered when Stamford Police found Anna Lisa Raymundo stabbed to death in her condo on Nov. 8, 2002, after police received a 911 call from a woman who said that a man assaulted a neighbor.

Following the murder, Davalloo, who is now 44, and the man became involved again. At some point after the romance was rekindled, Davalloo reportedly stabbed her husband several times. In 2004, Davalloo was convicted of attempted murder in New York and received a 25-year prison sentence.

In 2007, Stamford Police had gathered enough evidence to charge Davalloo with Raymundo’s murder. She was convicted in 2012 and sentenced to 50 more years in prison.
