WOMAN POISONED HUSBAND WITH EYE DROPS: POLICE

Authorities say a South Carolina woman has been charged with murder after killing her husband by putting eye drops into his water for several days.

York County deputies said 52-year-old Lana Clayton confessed to investigators after an autopsy uncovered a high amount of tetrahydrozoline in her husband’s body.

The chemical is found in over-the-counter eye drops such as Visine.

Authorities say 64-yearold Stephen Clayton was found dead July 21 in the couple’s home in Clover, 48 kilometres outside of Charlotte.

Arrest warrants and the statement from deputies didn’t give a motive for the alleged poisoning.
