A Grosse Pointe Park businessman was arrested Monday, allegedly caught on tape trying to hire someone to kill a handyman who claims to have murdered the businessman's wife at his behest, two people familiar with the case said.

Bob Bashara, who owns and manages retail properties, has been arrested with solicitation to murder a witness — Joseph Gentz, said his attorney, David Griem.

A police source said the alleged attempt was caught on tape.

"He was recorded soliciting someone to kill Gentz inside the jail," the source said.
