Woman in North Dakota is Arrested for Allegedly Killing Her Boyfriend With Poison

A woman in North Dakota was arrested and charged this week for allegedly killing her boyfriend, who died from poisoning last month, police said. They believe the suspect, identified as 47-year-old Ina Thea Kenoyer, may have had murdered Steven Edward Riley, Jr. for financial reasons.

Kenoyer was taken into custody Monday and charged with class AA felony murder, the Minot Police Department said in a news release shared to its Facebook page. In North Dakota, a class AA felony could carry a maximum penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole if there is a conviction.

Police charged Kenoyer in the death of Riley, a 51-year-old man from Minot, a city in North Dakota about 50 miles south of the Canadian border. Riley was in a relationship with Kenoyer, who is also from Minot, police said.
