Man found guilty of mailing cyanide that killed Englishman

BANGOR, Maine (AP) — A man charged with mailing cyanide to a suicidal man in England, leading to his death, has been found guilty by a federal jury.

Kilmartin, who used to live in Windham, a two-hour drive southwest of Bangor, was convicted on Tuesday of mailing injurious articles resulting in death and witness tampering.

An affidavit by a U.S. postal inspector said Kilmartin obtained the cyanide by posing as a jeweler to persuade a California distributor to ship him 100 grams of the chemical for $127.56.
