Ohio Woman Sentenced to 40 Years for Fatal Poisoning of Ex-Husband

Amanda Hovanec's crime, captured on dashcam, stemmed from a custody battle over their three children.

Amanda Hovanec, 37, admitted to injecting her ex-husband, Timothy Hovanec, with M-99, a potent animal tranquilizer.
The murder occurred during a child custody exchange in April 2022 and was captured on the victim's dashcam.
Hovanec's mother, Anita Green, and her boyfriend, Anthony Theodorou, were involved in the planning and aftermath of the crime.
The couple's custody dispute intensified after Hovanec denied Timothy visitation rights, despite a court order.
Anita Green received a 10-year sentence for her role as an accessory, while Theodorou awaits sentencing.
