New details have emerged in the killing of Aleena Asif, a 46-year-old mother found dead in her Long Island home last October. Authorities have confirmed that she died from cyanide poisoning in what prosecutors have described as a calculated and deeply disturbing crime.
Asif, a New York resident and mother of three, was discovered on Oct. 17 after her teenage daughter became concerned when Asif failed to collect her youngest child from school. The daughter contacted police, who attended the family home and made a grim discovery.
