A man in Texas has been charged with murder after he allegedly slipped an abortion drug into his pregnant girlfriend's drink.
Justin Anthony Banta was arrested on Friday after a months-long investigation into his former girlfriend's accusation that he gave her the Plan C pill (known as an abortion drug) without her knowledge, according to police in the US state.
Mr Banta's ex-partner said when she disclosed her pregnancy last year, he had offered to cover the cost of an abortion, but she expressed her desire to keep the baby.
Police said after meeting with Mr Banta in a coffee shop, she experienced heavy bleeding and visited the emergency room, but lost her baby a few days later.
Mr Banta was also charged with tampering with physical evidence and is awaiting prosecution, according to the Parker County Sheriff's Office.
