Cops: Bronx man poisons wife, then self

The NYPD says a man injected his wife with a poisonous liquid, then drank some himself and later died.

The woman, Erlendy Flores, is in a coma in critical condition. Police say the couple had argued on Sunday and the woman spent the night at her sister’s apartment in the same Bronx building.

The next day, police say, she went to her brother’s house. She returned to her apartment later to collect her things while her brother waited outside in a car for her.

Police say the husband, Flavio Godoy, stuck a syringe in Flores’ buttocks while she was bent over packing her clothes. They say he then drank the liquid from a cup.

The state Department of Environmental Protection will examine the liquid to determine what it is.
