KOP Man Who Plotted To Kidnap, Rape, Kill Wife Sentenced To Prison

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — The King of Prussia man who authorities said tried to execute an detailed plot to kidnap, rape, and kill his wife has been sentenced to prison.

Geoffrey Kay-Conway Sr., 53, will spend the next 15 to 30 years behind bars, a judge ruled this week.

Kay-Conway was found guilty after pleading no contest in September to counts of attempted rape and attempted murder.

Kay-Conway had been abusive for some time and an initial protection abuse order was issued back on Sept. 28, 2023.

Kay-Conway wrote a detailed note to his brother outlining his plans, which were put into motion after his wife left him and planned on divorcing him, police said. For weeks he monitored her movements, noting "where she parks. On which days she goes to the passenger side before getting in on the drivers side. Her routes home," according to the note police said they found.
Despite the PFA order, Kay-Conway continued the stalking, yelling and threatening her in public in Upper Merion on Oct. 20 and ultimately getting arrested for violating the order on Oct. 31, police said.

But Kay-Conway was released on $5,000 bail, and his planning resumed. He placed a tracking device on his wife's car, and on Sunday, Nov. 19 at around 10:45 a.m., he followed her to the Walmart parking lot by the King of Prussia Mall where he attacked, according to the DA.
The pair struggled for some time, with Kay-Conway stabbing her in the leg multiple times, police said.

Officers arrived at the scene as the two were still struggling. Kay-Conway was eventually arrested in another parking lot nearby.

When taken into custody, Kay-Conway had a large metal pick in his pocket, black zip ties, and a black duffle bag with a black "PepperBall" gun, three piercing tools (one of which had the victim's name written on it), a blindfold, duct tape, zip ties, knives, wire cutters, pliers, and KY jelly, police said. They also found the note in this bag.

The bag also contained a court order mandating Kay-Conway's next appearance before a judge on Dec. 13. At the bottom of the order, Kay-Conway wrote “…I Have 1.5 months to Kill that Bitch. Could have Killed her 17 times if i wanted. What a week system," police said.

Kay-Conway was booked at Montgomery County Correctional Facility, where he has remained since he was arrested in Nov. 2023.
