NC suspect accused of poisoning wife and daughter will stay behind bars for now
GASTON COUNTY, NC (WSOC) — The Gaston County man accused of killing his wife and then poisoning his daughter will stay in jail without bond for now.
Joshua Hunsucker faced a judge on new charges on Friday, but he still has a trial pending for a murder charge that was filed years ago after his wife was allegedly poisoned to death with eyedrops.
Hunsucker was out on bond for the murder charge, but he was arrested again earlier this week for new charges, accused of poisoning his daughter.
Hunsucker is accused of killing his wife, Stacy, in 2018, by putting lethal doses of eyedrops in her drink. While out of jail on bond, District Attorney Travis Page says Hunsucker harassed and intimidated his late wife’s parents.
Court documents say he recorded his in-laws at his daughter’s lacrosse practices, sent a package to their home demanding they dismiss the case, followed them in his car, and made vulgar gestures. Prosecutors say most of it was in the presence of his own children.
