Charlotte, N.C. – According to the court documents, the 39-year-old husband, later identified as Josua, was taken into custody earlier this week and charged with multiple charges, including witness intimidation and obstruction indictments. Prosecutors claim the defendant is now facing new charges against Johhn and Suzzie Robinson, allegedly committed out of retaliation and to reframe his wife’s death as their doing. Prosecutors claim the defendant also added the same drug to his child’s drink, as part of an alleged plot to pin her mother’s death on his wife’s parents.
The investigation process began in Sept. 2018 after the defendant’s wife, 32-year-old Stasy, suffered a cardiac arrest and later died. The woman’s death seemed to be due to natural causes, but how her husband acted right after his wife died raised suspicions and the authorities launched an investigation. The husband reportedly insisted on not performing autopsy and his wife’s remains be cremated immediately.
But, the victim was an organ donor and blood test reportedly showed that the woman had high levels of tetrahydrozoIine, which is a chemical ingredient found in eyedrops. The man also attempted to collect on $250,000 in life insurance policy money. The husband also told his colleagues, who were part of the emergency medical services just like him, that if he killed someone, he would do so using Vlsine or other eye-drops. The husband was initially charged with first-degree murder and insurance fraud.
During the investigation process, authorities reportedly say the defendant faked his own kidnapping last year and identified his father in-law as the perpetrator, harassed his wife’s parents with a package telling them not to press charges any longer, followed them to church and caused his daughter to be hospitalized later that same month by adding the same drug he used to kill his wife, in order to make it look like her grandparents tried to kill the 10-year-old in the same way her mother died.
