A
20-year-old university student Theophilous Washington, who is attending
Millersville University in rural Pennsylvania, was arrested and charged
with attempted murder after authorities learned that he had poisoned
his pregnant girlfriend’s glass of water with bleach in an attempt to
abort the fetus..
District Attorney Craig Stedman said in a statement Friday:
‘The charges are twisted and the intended result nothing short of horrifying,’
Washington and his girlfriend, who is
two months pregnant, were at his home on Thursday and when she was about
to leave on Friday morning to return to her dorm, authorities said he
offered her a drink of water that had been stashed in the refrigerator.
