GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — Pretrial motions are underway in Gaston County in the trial of a man accused of trying to poison his wife with eye drops, burning a helicopter and staging a kidnapping.
Joshua Hunsucker is accused of poisoning his wife, Stacy, with a lethal dose of eye drops and then immediately having her body cremated, allegedly to hide evidence that prosecutors said was found in blood taken before her death.
Hunsucker was later charged with faking his own kidnapping, accusing his wife’s father of zip-tying him and poisoning his own daughter.
Channel 9 was in the courtroom in May when Hunsucker’s attorney tried to have the case moved out of Gaston County. A judge did not approve the request.
>>Channel 9’s Ken Lemon is in court Monday and will have the latest on Eyewitness News starting at 5 p.m.
