WASHINGTON: Wife who poised husband's coffee caught redhanded by husband. The incident happened in US. The police arrested a young woman named Melody Felicano for the crime of trying to kill Johnson, a US Airforce worker. The murder attempt was foiled when the husband felt suspicious of the smell of the coffee given by Melody.

His wife had started adding poison to the coffee since March. Johnson noticed a change in his wife's behaviour and installed CCTV in the house. This is how he discovered that his wife was mixing poison in the coffee. The woman was arrested during the investigation conducted by them after this footage was shown to the police. The court was told that Johnson used testing strips to detect high levels of chlorine in his coffee. Johnson submitted evidence of this to the court.

Johnson told the police that his wife was trying to avail benefits by killing him. The woman was arrested after the prosecution argued that the accused might leave the country. The couple have a child. It is reported that both of them had taken steps to get a divorce.
