A Monroe, Wisconsin, woman was charged with attempted first-degree murder after being accused of poisoning her husband, who works as a veterinarian, with animal euthanasia drugs several times, in accordance with reports.
Amanda Chapin, 50, was arrested by the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office and charged on Dec. 28, the Associated Press reported, after authorities said she poisoned her 70-year-old husband Gary Chapin, 3 times by putting barbiturates in his coffee, between July and August.
The couple was married in March, after which Amanda Chapin forged one in every of Gary’s children’s signatures on a power-of-attorney document, in accordance with a criminal grievance.
The grievance then says she demanded her husband change the deed of the home so if he died, she would get the house. Lower than three weeks after the deed was modified, the grievance reads, she poisoned her husband for the primary time.
Gary Chapin fell right into a coma after Amanda’s third try and poison him with barbiturate-enhanced coffee, which lasted for 4 days, and the grievance says blood work exhibited that the drugs were the identical type he used to place animals down.
In August, Gary Chapin’s son filed a restraining order against Amanda Chapin on his father’s behalf and in September he began the method for divorcing his wife, in accordance with court documents.
AP reported that in accordance with the criminal grievance, Amanda Chapin violated the restraining order by sending her husband a suicide note in an email.
Within the note, Amanda Chapin said she decided to kill herself because his children were going to destroy her.
“The one thing I’m guilty of is loving you SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH,” the note, which was included within the grievance, said.
Paramedics responded to her house and took her to a neighborhood hospital, and the subsequent day Gary Chapin filed for divorce.
