LIBERTY — A grand jury has indicted a young Casey County woman, accusing her with lacing her grandfather’s coffee with automotive antifreeze.
Nineteen-year-old Brittany Ann Miller faces a charge of criminal attempt to commit murder.
WLEX-TV in Lexington reported Leonard Walls went to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Lexington, where he told a security officer he suspected his granddaughter was trying to kill him so she could inherit his money.
Authorities searched Walls’ home and found a jug of antifreeze that was half-empty along with two bags of rat poison.
The station quoted Walls saying he noticed his coffee had a sweeter taste to it when Miller brewed it.
The grand jury in Liberty returned the indictment on Friday.
