After several months of investigation, Justin Anthony Banta was arrested on Friday, June 6 for murder on Friday, June 6 after sliding an abortive pill in their partner’s drink while the couple took coffee, Texas Police reported to the BBC to the BBC on Tuesday, June 10.
When his partner revealed his pregnancy last year, he offered to cover the costs of an abortion, but she had expressed her desire to keep the baby.
According to the accusations of his girlfriend, the man gave a “plan C” pill, a medicine used to have an abortion, without his knowledge.
After adding the pill in their partner’s glass, the authorities said their partner went to the emergency room after having an abundant bleeding. A few days later, the woman lost the fetus she had been pregnant for six weeks.
“Crucial evidence related to the case” eliminated
A few hours later in the day, “the victim said he met Justin Anthony Banta in a coffee … where she said she suspected that she had added a pill in secret to her drink, without her knowledge and without her permission,” Sheriff’s office said in a statement.
The Sheriff’s office also indicated that humans were also accused of having changed several material evidence on this case.
Later, the police discovered that “crucial evidence related to the case” had been eliminated. In fact, researchers suspect Justin Anthony Banta, having restarted the laptop of their partner.
Since 2021, Texas has been prohibiting any voluntary termination of pregnancy (abortion), even for a case of incest or violation. Only exceptions: In case of danger of death or risk of serious disability for the mother.
A law was also adopted that provides civil and criminal sanctions against people who practice abortions in 2022.
