A Missouri woman allegedly used poison to kill her husband -- so
she could marry a man doing life behind bars for murder,
according to investigators.

Police said Amy Murray, 40, of Iberia, poisoned her husband with
antifreeze, placed his body on a bed and set him on fire, Fox 5
Atlanta reported. After allegedly starting the fire last
December, Murray then went to a McDonald’s with her 11-year-old
son and dogs, Fox 22 Columbia reported, citing a probable cause
statement.

The court documents showed that at the time, Murray was having
an affair with a prisoner at the Jefferson City Correctional
Center where she worked as a nurse, Fox 22 reported.

According to the documents, in recorded phone conversations
Murray told the inmate, Eugene Claypool, 40, she didn’t want to
be married to her husband anymore and she could marry Claypool
because her husband was dead and “out of the picture,” Fox 22
reported.

Clayton has been locked up for more than 18 years in the deadly
stabbing of a 72-year-old Missouri man who won $1.7 million in a
lottery game. He was arrested in December 2000.

The pair also talked about getting an attorney to spring
Claypool from prison early, the Jefferson City News Tribune
reported.

Murray has been charged with first-degree murder and armed
criminal action in the death of her husband, Joshua Murray.

She was jailed in lieu of $750,000 bond.

Iberia is about two hours southwest of St. Louis.
