   A California man has been charged with murder for allegedly   
   driving his family, including his two autistic sons, off a Los   
   Angeles pier after buying $6 million insurance policies in case   
   of accidental deaths, prosecutors said Wednesday.   
      
   Ali Elmezayen, 44, of Hawthorne, faces two counts of murder and   
   one count of attempted murder, allegedly committed in the name   
   of financial gain, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s   
   office said. Prosecutors said further investigation led to the   
   new murder charges against the accused, who was already in   
   federal custody for alleged insurance fraud.   
      
   Elmezayen is accused of intentionally driving his two sons, ages   
   8 and 13, off the edge of a commercial fishing dock in San Pedro   
   on April 9, 2015, While Elmezayen swam to safety, and his   
   partner, who couldn't swim, was rescued by a fisherman, his   
   children, who couldn’t swim and were strapped into child seats,   
   drowned.   
      
   Prosecutors said that two years and 12 days earlier, Elmezayen   
   bought the last of his insurance policies, covering his family   
   in the event any of them accidentally died.   
      
   Elmezayen, who is Egyptian, collected more than $260,000 in   
   insurance payouts for the deaths and wired most of the money   
   back to Egypt, according to prosecutors in the fraud case.   
      
   He was charged with mail fraud, wire fraud and aggravated   
   identify theft in November. Initially, the district attorney   
   declined to file charges in relation to the deaths of   
   Elmezayen’s sons because of insufficient evidence.   
      
   A police mechanic said a brake pedal didn’t work properly but   
   could not determine if the problem existed before the watery   
   plunge or developed as a consequence of saltwater corrosion.   
      
   An attorney representing Elmezayen could not be found, according   
   to The Associated Press.   
      
   The murder case will proceed once Elmezayen’s insurance fraud   
   trial is finished.   
      
   If convicted in the murder case, he faces life in prison without   
   parole, or the death penalty. Prosecutors have not yet decided   
   whether they will pursue the latter option.
