DA: Mom Tries to Kill Husband With Antifreeze as Kids Watch

40-year-old Long Island woman is accused of trying to kill her estranged husband by poisoning his drinks with antifreeze, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office says. Renee Burke was indicted on January 3 on several charges, including attempted murder, District Attorney Timothy Sini said in a press release.

Renee Perrichon Burke is accused of putting the chemical in drinks inside the home of her husband, Matthew Burke, in September, according to prosecutors. The couple is separated and going through a divorce. Burke and her husband have two children together, an 8-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old son, according to NBC New York.

“This is an extremely troubling case,” Sini said in a statement. “The evidence will show there are at least three occasions in which the defendant attempted to kill her estranged husband: once by putting antifreeze in his wine bottle, once by putting it in his soda, and another – which as caught on videotape – where she puts antifreeze in another one of his wine bottles.”

Burke, of Holbrook, New York, was charged in the indictment with second-degree attempted murder, attempted first-degree assault, second-degree burglary, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of second-degree criminal contempt, according to the district attorney’s office.
