(Associated Press) — Authorities in the Bahamas
said Tuesday that they have detained the wife of a well-known
podiatrist from Australia who was found stabbed to death at the couple's
upscale home.
Phillip Vasyli
died in the wealthy Old Fort Bay community on New Providence Island
after being stabbed once in the chest, police spokesman Stephen Dean
said in an interview. He said no one has been charged and that police
are still investigating a possible motive.
He said a worker found Vasyli's body and alerted police.
Vasyli
established three podiatry clinics in Sydney and later founded an
orthotic footwear company that sells Vionic with Orthaheel Technology
products in the U.S., the United Kingdom and elsewhere. A spokeswoman
for the San Rafael, California-based Vionic Group LLC declined to
comment.
Vasyli also ran a
nonprofit organization along with his wife, son and daughter to help
improve the health of those living in poor communities, according to the
company's website.
