		A Belle Harbor man, already being prosecuted for conspiring to sexually mutilate his girlfriend’s ex-husband for the rape of the divorced couple’s teenaged daughter, has been indicted on new charges of conspiring to murder a state prison inmate who had tipped off authorities about the assault-for-hire plot.
