MONROE — A Monroe Township woman was charged today with the murder of her hu*****and after an autopsy confirmed he had been poisoned.
Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan announced that Tianle Li, 40, was charged with hindering her own apprehension on Jan. 26, the day her hu*****and, Xiaoye Wang, 39, died at University Medical Center in Princeton.
Kaplan said Wang checked himself into the hospital with apparent flu-like symptoms on Jan. 14. A series of tests at the hospital, completed Jan. 25, showed he had been poisoned with thallium.
The investigation by the county prosecutor's office and Monroe police revealed Li and Wang, who were in the process of getting a divorce, had been involved in a series of domestic disturbances since April 2009.
It was further determined that Li, who had been employed as a chemist for 10 years at Bristol-Myers Squibb, had obtained an undisclosed quantity of thallium, a highly toxic metal, and administered a portion of the substance between December 2010 and January 2011, Kaplan said.
Members of the New Jersey State Police Hazardous Materials Unit and the Middlesex County Hazardous Materials Unit searched Wang's house and concluded that no one else was exposed to thallium.
Li was initially arrested on Jan. 28 and charged with hindering her own apprehension for providing police with false statements during the investigation. Her bail was set at $150,000 on the hindering charge, but raised another $4 million after she was charged with murder. She is being held at the Middlesex County jail.
Anyone with information is asked to call Sgt. Jason Grosser of the Monroe Township Police Department at (732) 521-0222 or county Investigator Jeffrey Temple at (732) 745-3373
