Wyoming microbiology graduate student Aili Wang, 32, has been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on charges of poisoning a colleague who had pending patents and attempting to flee the country. Prosecutors allege that Wang poisoned the tea of her fellow microbiologist, with whom she had a strained relationship, and subsequently tried to return to China.
Upon her arrest, police found laptops, electronic storage devices, and documents in her possession, which they claim link her to the crime. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Wang rummaging through the victim's desk, who specialized in disease treatment research similar to Wang's work in China.
