“A US dentist who poisoned his wife has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after a Colorado jury found him guilty of murder and other charges. James Craig, 47, had been having an affair when he plotted to kill his wife Angela Craig in March 2023. After lacing his wife’s protein shakes with arsenic, he gave her a fatal dose of cyanide while she lay ill in hospital, prosecutors said. Prosecutors also argued during a two-week trial that the dentist felt trapped in his marriage but was facing financial troubles and did not want a divorce. Defence lawyers had argued that Angela Craig, who was then 43, died by suicide because she was heartbroken about her husband’s ‘constant’ affairs. However, the Arapahoe County coroner determined that she died as a result of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a chemical used in eye drops.” (07/31/25)
