the grieving widow actually poisoned her husband

Not long ago, Kouri Richins was still promoting her book on mourning on television sets in the United States. She co-wrote it with her three little boys after their father died. “My husband died unexpectedly last year. (…) You can imagine the shock it was for us”, she said. In reality, Kouri Richins would have killed her husband by poisoning him. On March 4, in their house, Eric died in the middle of the night after tasting a vodka-based cocktail prepared by his wife. She assured those around him that he had suffered a ruptured aneurysm, but the police quickly had their doubts.

The couple were fighting over a real estate investment

Kouri had tried to change the couple’s life insurance to be the sole beneficiary. The husband would have confided to two of his relatives that he thought that his wife had already tried twice to poison him. Above all, the police discovered text messages exchanged with a dealer, from whom they ordered powerful drugs. Eric had filed for divorce, and the couple were arguing over a $2 million capital investment. The young woman is now in prison awaiting trial.
