Woman Accused Of Husband's Fatal Fentanyl Poisoning — Utah v. Kouri Richins Day 2 📱

Описание: Kouri Richins, 35, is accused of fatally poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, with fentanyl at their home in Kamas, Utah, in March 2022. After he died, she self-published a children's book she authored titled "Are You With Me?" about coping with grief.

Eric Richins, 39, was found dead in their home on March 4, 2022.

Prosecutors allege Kouri dropped a lethal dose of fentanayl in a Moscow Mule cocktail she prepared for him. They say she was motivated by money because she owed nearly $5 million to lenders and had changed her husband's life insurance policies prior to his death while also taking out a home equity line of credit without his knowledge.

They allege she previously tried to murder him by poisoning his sandwich on Valentine's Day 2022, which her husband told a friend about.

Richins' criminal charges in Summit County, Utah, include aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, forgery and two counts of insurance fraud.

She's charged in a separate case with 26 financial crimes includes five counts of mortgage fraud, seven counts of money laundering, five counts of forgery, seven counts of issuing a bad check and single counts of communications fraud and engaging in a pattern of unlawful activity.

Her trial in the first case is scheduled to last five weeks. Judge Richard Mrazik in Utah's 3rd District Court is presiding at the Silver Summit Justice Center near Park City.
