Woman poisoned her husband just so she didn’t have to have sex with him

She says she wouldn't "use that much to kill him, but just enough to make him not have an erection".

It seems that all Andrea Heming wanted to give her husband during the last six months of their relationship was daily nose bleeds and diarrhea.

This is because she laced his cereal, energy drinks and even whipped cream with a cockroach-killing toxin, known as borin acid, so that she didn’t have to have sexual intercourse with him.

And she has been on the run ever since.

Two years ago, Ms Heming pleaded guilty to poisoning her husband’s food, telling the court that she did it because he would have unwanted sex with her while she was asleep.

“I wouldn’t use that much to kill him, but just enough to make him not have an erection,” she confessed.

On the other hand, her husband, who only goes by the name of “Ralph”, says Ms Heming, in the past, had shown signs of “evilness”.

“She did reveal to me a story where she was a flight attendant at one time, and she had a customer – you know a passenger who was she said was unruly. She actually put sedatives in her drink”, he said of his wife of four years, according to KSNV.

Following her admitting guilt in court, Ms Heming missed her court sentencing; she is believed to be still on the run, having initially fled Nevada in the US to make a bee-line for Mexico.

It is believed that if Ms Heming is caught, she faces up to 15 years in prison…
