L'auteure de l'Utah Kouri Richins condamnée à la prison à vie pour le meurtre de son mari

Kouri Richins, l'auteure de livres pour enfants qui avait écrit un ouvrage sur le deuil après la mort de son conjoint, a été condamnée cette semaine à la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité sans possibilité de libération conditionnelle pour son meurtre. Un tribunal de l'Utah l'a reconnue coupable d'avoir versé une dose massive de fentanyl dans la boisson d'Eric Richins en mars 2022.

Le juge a souligné sa dangerosité pour la société lors du prononcé du verdict, qui tombait le jour où Eric aurait dû fêter ses 44 ans. Les procureurs ont présenté les dettes et une nouvelle relation amoureuse comme mobiles, soulignant que le couple avait trois jeunes fils au moment des faits. Richins a également été reconnue coupable d'une tentative de meurtre lors de la Saint-Valentin 2022 et de fraude à l'assurance liée à la police d'assurance.
