Prosecutors say a Houston woman has been accused of giving her 6-year-old son lethal doses of medications and over the counter drugs after taking out two life insurance policies on the boy
HOUSTON — A Houston woman took out two life insurance policies on her 6-year-old son before giving him lethal doses of medications and over the counter drugs that caused him frightening hallucinations before he died, prosecutors said Thursday.
Prosecutors with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office allege that Ashley Marks repeatedly drugged her son in June.
Marks, 25, has been charged with capital murder and was being held without bond. Court records did not list an attorney for her.
