Kouri Richins, a 33-year-old woman, stands accused of poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, with fentanyl on the night of March 3, 2022, in their Kamas residence. Disturbingly, this act occurred while their three young sons were peacefully sleeping.
Attorney Greg Skordas, representing the victim's family, explains that Eric had previously expressed concerns about his wife's fidelity. He firmly believed that she was involved in an ongoing affair, even during their marriage, suggesting that the relationship was not as stable as it seemed. Financial disagreements between the couple had also emerged before Eric's untimely demise, although further details remain undisclosed.
Investigation records obtained by Fox News Digital shed light on the couple's arguments regarding the acquisition of a multimillion-dollar property shortly before Eric's death. Shockingly, Kouri proceeded to finalize the purchase of the 22,000-square-foot mansion just one day after Eric passed away on March 5. This action disregarded Eric's intentions to dissuade her from buying the property. Currently, the house is under contract for a staggering $3.75 million.
Eric had confided in friends, expressing concerns for his safety prior to the alleged poisoning incident. He even removed Kouri from his will, indicating his deep-rooted anxieties. In fact, a warrant for Kouri's arrest states that on Valentine's Day in 2022, Eric suspected his wife of attempting to poison him. Following a dinner at their Kamas home, he fell severely ill, believing that he had been poisoned. Eric shared his suspicions with a friend, declaring that he believed his wife was trying to harm him. There was also an earlier instance during a trip to Greece where Kouri had allegedly attempted to poison him.
On the fateful night of March 3, 2022, when prosecutors claim Kouri Richins took her husband's life, she allegedly served him a celebratory cocktail to mark a home sale. It is worth noting that Kouri owns a real estate firm called K Richins Realty LLC. She later informed authorities that she briefly left Eric's side to check on their sleeping child. Upon her return, she found him unresponsive. Eric's tragic demise was attributed to a fatal dosage of illicit fentanyl, an opioid known to be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Additionally, Kouri Richins faces charges of possessing GHB, commonly known as the "date rape drug."
Eric's family is adamant about highlighting his character and dispelling any misconceptions. They want the public to know that he was a "good man" who had no history of drug use or drug-related issues.
The legal drama continues as Kouri Richins is locked in a lawsuit with her sister-in-law over Eric's $3.6 million estate, claiming her entitlement based on a prenuptial agreement. In response, Richins-Benson, the sister-in-law, disputes Kouri's claims, arguing that she is not entitled to her late husband's estate.
The timing of Kouri Richins' arrest is especially disturbing, given that she recently appeared on television to promote her children's book about grief, titled "Are You With Me?"
"Tragically, Eric Richins's story shows how jealousy and suspicion can lead to irreparable harm on relationships," says Wilda Harrison, a relationship psychologist.
