A 61-year-old mergers and acquisitions expert has been charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of his wife after her lifeless body was discovered inside their $2.5million home in an exclusive New York suburb.

Jules Reich appeared before a judge in Scarsdale Village Court for his arraignment Wednesday night and was ordered held without bail in connection to the slaying of his wife, Dr Robin Goldman, 58, in their 6,400 sq ft house.

The Manhattan attorney and financial analyst is due back in court next Tuesday. 

A police source told the Journal-News that Reich called police at around 10am Wednesday to report that a woman was seriously injured inside their residence in Scarsdale.  

A law enforcement source told the New York Daily News that the killing occurred during a domestic dispute. 

'This is not a random act, this was an isolated incident,' Scarsdale Police Captain Thomas Alpizio said.

Court records show that after their daughter's wedding last summer, Reich filed for a divorce from Goldman, according to CBS New York. 

The details of the August divorce petition are still pending, Heavy reported. 

Reich was taken into custody and booked into the Westchester County Jail following his arraignment. Sources told the New York Post that the man had 'defensive wounds' on his arms. 

A forensics team was seen at the home well into the evening on Wednesday.

The home, on Lincoln Road, was built in 1947 and includes a bath house, swimming pool and greenhouse on 1.3 acres of land.

Records show that financial consultant at WeiserMazars LLP Reich, 61, and Goldman, a pediatrician at the Comprehensive Family Care Center in the Bronx, New York, live on the property. 

The victim was also affiliated with Montefiore Medical Center and was an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. 

'Robin was a dedicated physician cherished by her colleagues as a positive and compassionate presence,' Montefiore hospital said. 'Her passion for medicine was an inspiration to those who worked with her. Her passing is a great loss for all of us, and we extend our heartfelt sympathy to her family, friends, patients, colleagues and students.'

According to Reich's biography on WeiserMazars' website, the 61-year-old is a partner at the firm, 'advising corporations, startups, venture capital and private-equity firms in a broad range of industries on critical topics including mergers and acquisitions.' 

Reich received his law degree from Benjamin N. Cordozo School and Law and his Master of Law degree from New York University Law School.  

Over the course of his 20-year career in the financial industry, he has been involved in transactions totaling more than $45million, according to his bio.  

Scarsdale police also blocked off part of the road on which the couple lived while they were investigating

The couple are believed to have four adult children who are all in their 20s. 

Their son Adam Reich was overcome with emotion as he told the New York Post that his mother was a wonderful woman. 

'She was great, a great person, amazing,' he said.  

Both Reich and Goodman are said to be Jewish and both sat on a gala committee for Westchester Jewish Council.

'As a community, we are grief stricken and our hearts are filled with pain to know that Robin, who was so good, so sweet and so pious has so suddenly been taken from us,' said a statement from the Modern Orthodox Young Israel of Scarsdale, the synagogue Goldman attended. 

Neighbor Judy Raphael said: 'I'm living here 34 years - nothing like this has ever happened.

'It's a very safe neighborhood,' she added.

'This is very sad,' neighbor Martin Molot, 85, told the Daily News. Reich 'is a nice guy. He seemed so level-headed.' 

A security guard who worked at the hospital where Goldman was an employee said that her death will 'bring pain' to a lot of people.

'She was a very pleasant lady. She always smiled and said hello to everyone. Nobody ever said or felt anything bad about her. Not with that smile,' Kassim Ray, a security guard at the medical center, told The Post. 

'I’ve worked here for three years and she was always very nice to me. I need to spread this news. Her dying is really going to bring pain to a lot of people,' Ray added. 

The last recorded homicide in Scarsdale was in 1977, when 23-year-old Yale graduate Richard Hrrin killed 20-year-old ex-girlfriend Bonnie Garland by smashing her head with a hammer as she slept in her parents' home, according to authorities. 

Herrin served 17 years in prison after he was convicted of manslaughter, according to court documents. He was released in 1995.
