Arsenic poisoning

 A Greek court has sentenced a university lecturer to two life terms for the fatal poisoning by arsenic of his wife and her grandmother several years ago.

The court ruled late Thursday that the 46-year-old geology lecturer at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki gradually poisoned his 34-year-old wife and her 85-year-old grandmother in August 2013.

A judicial council in Thessaloniki Monday indicted a 45-year-old university professor on charges of killing his wife and her grandmother using arsenic poison. The man was remanded in custody until the trial.
