Unit 4 [P1-M1]

Nathan finds out that his girlfriend Tanya has been having an affair. Rather than confronting her on this, Nathan decides to punish her by making her sick. He decides to poison her, and goes to his local hardware store and buys rat poison.

Nathan puts a small dose in Tanya's morning coffee, intending to give her a number of very small doses of poison in order to keep her sick for a few days (the amount he gives her is not enough to kill most people). However, Tanya is particularly sensitive to the rat poison, and collapses.

Tanya is taken to hospital by Nathan, who regrets what he has done. He does not tell the doctor what he has given her, and the doctor wrongly diagnoses her and does not treat Tanya correctly. Tanya dies a few days later from the poisoning.

Nathan has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Tanya, and you have been appointed as his solicitor.

Advise Nathan.
