One of the two hit men paid to kill a Cherry Hill rabbi's wife in 1994 is set to be released on the day before the 20th anniversary of his victim's death.

40-year-old Paul Michael Daniels, who has been behind bars for 14 years due to aggravated manslaughter charges, is set to be released on Oct 31, according to the Department of Corrections.

The other hit man, Len Jenoff, 60, was released on Jan. 24, 2014.

During the trial, Jenoff and Daniels confessed that they murdered Carol Neulander on orders of her rabbi husband.

Neulander, 52, was beaten to death on Nov. 1, 1994.

During the testimony, Daniels and Jenoff told the court that Rabbi Fred Neulander hired them to kill his wife so he could continue having an extramarital affair.

The two confessed to alternately hitting Carol Neulander with a metal pipe at her Wexford Leas home during a sham robbery which the offenders staged.

During the beating, the victim continuously asked "Why? Why," Jenoff said during the trial. He revealed that he pretended to be a messenger with a message for the rabbi, in order to gain entrance into the Neulander's house.

Investigations following the slaying revealed that the rabbi had several affairs during his 29 years of being married to Carol.

At the time of the murder, the rabbi was reportedly in a romantic relationship with radio host, Elaine Soncini.

Carol Neulander was an outstanding member of the community and founded the Classic Cake Bakery, while her husband was a rabbi and founder of Cherry Hill's M'kor Shalom Congregation.

Investigations revealed that the rabbi recruited Jenoff from the congregation's Alcoholic Anonymous program and offered him $30,000 to kill his wife.

Jenoff, in turn, sought the help of Daniels and promised to pay him $7,000.

However, during the testimony, the men said Neulander gave them $18,000 for the job.

During Daniels' testimony, he confessed to being under the influence of drugs when the crime happened.

"I was on drugs. I didn't mean to hurt their family in any way," Daniels said in 2003.

The children of the victim requested for a 30-year sentence for each man, but a judge ruled for a maximum sentence of 23 years with a minimum of 10-year terms.
