An author from Utah who is accused of killing her husband and then publishing a children’s book on grief has been hit with a further charge – for allegedly attempting to previously poison him via a sandwich.
Kouri Richins, 33, was charged with aggravated murder last year over the alleged killing of Eric Richins, 39, at their home in Kamas in March 2022. Eric was found unresponsive after having a drink to celebrate his wife’s business deal. Authorities allege Kouri spiked the beverage with fentanyl, after a medical examiner found five times the lethal dose of the drug in her husband’s system.
