Woman poured antifreeze into her husband's wine (4 photos)

On Friday, Kristen Hogan was arrested in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The 33-year-old woman is charged with attempted murder. She added antifreeze to a bottle of wine and tea at her husband's home.





On August 10, the 34-year-old man drank some wine and felt ill that night. The next day, he began vomiting and had problems with speech and coordination. His mother arrived and called an ambulance for her son.

Doctors initially suspected a stroke, but once at the hospital, they discovered the patient had been poisoned by ethylene glycol, a substance found in antifreeze.



He was admitted to the intensive care unit and placed on dialysis for kidney failure. He told doctors he had consumed wine the day before.

Ridgefield police seized the bottle and sent it for analysis.

The victim immediately suspected his wife of poisoning him. Although they do not live together, Hogan had full access to the house.

The man told detectives that Kristen wanted to take full ownership of the house and obtain sole custody of the child.



Hogan's phone contained search queries for potassium cyanide, potassium ferricyanide, citrate cyanide, potassium thiocyanate, and monoethylene glycol. According to the documents, information about lethal doses of these chemicals for humans was also found.

The woman claimed she purchased monoethylene glycol to clean the carpets at her mother's house. When detectives asked about the bottle of wine and her husband's positive test for the chemical, she initially denied everything.

However, she later admitted that she had not planned to kill her husband, but wanted to make him suffer in revenge for the psychological abuse.

The court set Hogan's bail at one million dollars.
