Kouri Richins döms till livstids fängelse utan möjlighet till villkorlig frigivning

Mamman Kouri Richins från Utah dömdes på onsdagen till livstids fängelse utan möjlighet till villkorlig frigivning för att ha mördat sin make med en fentanylspetsad drink 2022. Domen föll på vad som skulle ha varit Eric Richins 44-årsdag.

En domare vid en distriktsdomstol i Utah meddelade domen efter att Richins i mars fällts för bland annat grovt mord, försök till mord, försäkringsbedrägeri och urkundsförfalskning. Åklagare uppgav att hon serverade sin make en Moscow Mule-cocktail som innehöll nästan fem gånger en dödlig dos fentanyl i parets hem nära Park City. Domaren beskrev henne som för farlig för att någonsin kunna släppas fri och konstaterade att motivet var ekonomisk vinning genom försäkringsavtal och en fastighetsaffär.
