Wednesday, August 28, 2024 -A man admitted to poisoning his wife’s Coca-Cola drink with drugs, including cocaine and MDMA, with the aim of killing her and marrying her daughter.
Alfred W Ruf, 71, has pleaded guilty to
spiking his wife’s beverages at least a dozen times in 2021,
state court documents obtained by WXIN.
Ruf’s wife reached out to cops in January
2022 after Ruf admitted to attempting to poison her to death.
The wife said she had been to the hospital a
half dozen times in a matter of weeks after experiencing headaches, diarrhoea
and drowsiness, among other symptoms.
She tested positive for a few drugs she did
not knowingly consume herself, including cocaine, MDMA and benzodiazepines.
Responding Richmond police officers
reportedly heard Ruf say that he added an "unknown substance" to his
wife’s drink that her own daughter had given to him.
The wife turned over to cops a pill bottle
that was filled with an off-white coloured powder, as well as a Coke can with a
similar residue.
Ruf then admitted that he tried to kill his
wife in order to marry her daughter. He said the substance made his wife sleep
for about 13 hours straight.
"He stated that he would do this to
eventually kill her," stated the court documents.
Ruf claimed that the daughter and a friend
told him to put the powder into his wife’s Coke can and wait for her to doze
off, and that the pair would then go to his Indiana home to "put on a
show".
He added that he had intercourse with one
of the women while the other woman stole his wife’s possessions. Ruf said he
paid the women for the sex acts.
The daughter told Ruf to "get mom out
of the picture" and cash in on her insurance policy, he claimed. Ruf said
that the daughter planned to tie the knot with him after they "took care
of" his wife
Ruf reportedly confessed to what he did to
his wife "because he felt bad".
But the wife told authorities that Ruf
admitted he was "drugging" her in order to engage in sexual
activities with the daughter and her friend.
Ruf on Monday, August 26, pled guilty in
Wayne County Court to aggravated battery posing a risk of death. He had a
charge of conspiracy to commit murder dismissed.
Ruf has been sentenced to four years behind
bars, as well as five years of probation.
