In a disturbing turn of events in Volusia County, a 23-year-old man has admitted to a harrowing attempt at poisoning his ex-partner by contaminating her vodka and skincare products with bleach. According to WFTV, Edwin Guzman III, the man arrested, had tampered with his ex-partner’s belongings. However, the motive behind his actions has not been revealed, adding a layer of mystery to this already dark tale.
Details provided by the FOX 35 Orlando explain how the victim and her uncle, who was assisting her in moving her possessions from her ex-boyfriend's residence, unwittingly took a shot from the tainted Tito’s vodka bottle to "calm their nerves," a decision that quickly spiraled into an alarming realization by the uncle who detected the acrid bleach.
Responding to the scene yesterday, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office took Guzman into custody after he reportedly confessed over the phone to the vile act. The charge of poisoning, a severe felony offense, now hangs over Guzman, painting a legal picture of the consequences that shadow such egregious acts of malice.
