“This is an incredibly intimate way to commit a murder,” Chen’s lawyer, Steven Hittelman toldGMA. “She had to know what his routine was, what his preferences were. A methodical, intimate, horrific way to murder someone.”
Chen has also filed for divorce against his wife as well as requesting full custody of their two children and accuses her of “yelling, insulting, verbally abusing, hitting, pushing, pulling, and being emotionally abusive” toward the kids, Robach said, citing documents.
Yu’s attorney told ABC that his client “absolutely and unequivocally denies ever having attempted to poison her husband or anyone else.” She also denied the abuse claims.
