Just don't turn your back on disgruntled scientists. Scientist accused of poisoning co-worker’s water bottle after being denied promotion, authorities say
According to a criminal complaint, a person who works at the Influenza Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin‑Madison noticed an odd smell coming from his water bottle on April 4 and said it tasted strange.
He also reported an odd smell coming from his shoes and a grocery bag, and told another employee, who then called police.
A lab test of the water bottle revealed a high level of chloroform.
41‑year‑old Makoto Kuroda confessed to that, and putting paraformaldehyde - an extremely toxic substance - in the victim’s drink.
Why? Because the victim didn't follow all the rules.
Kuroda also allegedly became upset when the employee was promoted and Kuroda was not.
But trust the science.
