Drugs as a Murder Weapon

Drugs have been the murder weapon of choice for assassins throughout time. It wasn‟t until the late 1700‟s and into the 1800‟s that ways of detecting the poison became known. Since then,the cat and mouse game of developing/discovering new drugs/poisons has been challenged by those finding ways to detect the poison.

Is there such a thing as an undetectable poison?

Can the patient’s own medications be used?

We will discuss these and other “murder‟ possibilities in this session.
