The man accused of trying to kill his wife using pufferfish toxin has been indicted on additional charges. Edward F. Bachner, IV, having already been indicted on a charge of possessing a biological agent for use as a weapon, faces additional charges. According to Chicago Breaking News:
The pufferfish toxin guy from last week turns out to be nuttier than a squirrel on spring break. Edward F. Bachner IV had been stockpiling tetrodotoxin and weapons, and had tried to hire a contract killer to murder his wife back in 2005. The FBI investigated the attempts then, but no charges were ever filed. Bachner also had a $5 million life insurance policy on his wife that included a special terrorism rider.
A Lake in the Hills man was arrested yesterday for possessing enough pufferfish toxin to kill about 100 people, according to the FBI. Tetrodotoxin possession without federal approval is a felony.
