In the United States, a 45-year-old man has just been arrested for the murder of his wife. But the investigators had all the trouble in the world to discover that the latter had been poisoned for several days without anyone realizing it. Back to this unusual case.
The police finally managed to figure out what really happened. For several days, a 43-year-old American named Angela Craig complained of violent headaches and nausea, without any doctor being able to understand what was happening to her. Died in the process, the members of her family decided to call on a medical examiner to understand what had really happened. And terrible news broke: Angela Craig was slowly poisoned.
The Colorado police therefore quickly seized the case and arrested her husband, James Toliver Craig. However, it was he who, on the Wednesday preceding his arrest, had taken the victim to the hospital when she was feeling ill. After some research, law enforcement discovered that the 45-year-old had researched online which poisons could kill a person without detection and had ordered a canister of poisonous potassium cyanide from his office. A Machiavellian plan that he managed to put into execution.
The man poured cyanide into his wife’s canteen
Long questioned by the police, the man ended up revealing the reasons for this terrible act. This dentist said he decided to kill his wife to start a new life with one of his colleagues. The victim’s sister told police that James Toliver Craig “had had several affairs with several women, had told Angela that he had been addicted to porn since he was a teenager and had even drugged his ex-wife a few years ago”. Authorities say he tricked his wife into putting the poison in her protein shake bottles. Incarcerated pending trial, he now faces a life sentence.
