Hello! Woman Who Fed Her Husband a Deadly Dose of Aquarium Cleaner Now Under Investigation, For Murder

Oh? You don't say.

Arizona police are now conducting a homicide investigation into the woman who claimed she gave her husband fish tank cleaner after hearing President Trump talk about the possibility of using the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the coronavirus.


...

"As this is an active investigation, I cannot go into any details at this time regarding the case," homicide detective Teresa Van Galder told the Free Beacon.


The Free Beacon ran a story recently noting that the victim was a highly intelligent man and an engineer who almost certainly would not have eaten fish tank cleaner as a supplement.

[F]riends of 68-year-old Gary Lenius, the Arizona man who passed away last month from drinking a fish tank cleaner that contained an ingredient, chloroquine phosphate, that Trump had touted as a potential coronavirus cure, say they are still struggling to understand what drove an engineer with an extensive science background to do something so wildly out of character.

These people describe Lenius as intelligent and levelheaded, not prone to the sort of reckless and impulsive behavior he reportedly engaged in on the day he died.

In addition to publicly berating her husband, assaulting him, and destroying expensive property out of anger, Wanda also had the brilliant idea to take a lethal dose of the chloroquinine.

Wanda Lenius said her husband was planning to schedule a doctor's appointment to have his leg looked at and the couple worried he might pick up coronavirus at the clinic. That's when, she said, she reached for the fish tank cleaner in her pantry.

Asked if she and Lenius had a conversation about taking the chloroquine at that time, she told the Free Beacon: "No. I mean, it was really kind of a spur of the moment thing," adding that the couple ingested "one teaspoon and some soda" each--at least four times the lethal limit.

By the way: The only reason they were taking this is that Gary had hurt his leg (supposedly) and was making plans to see a doctor. Wanda decided that they should drink some poison to reduce the small chances of picking up coronavirus at the doctor.

That's right -- they didn't have it, and didn't even think they had it.

So obviously this engineer would just take poison on the spur of the moment.

But then-- Wanda often made vitamin concoctions for her husband.

A friend of Lenius's said that Wanda Lenius "often made a cocktail of vitamins for Gary."

...

"Gary loved Wanda," said the friend. "He trusted her to do the right thing for him, I doubt that he second-guessed when she gave him the chloroquine."
