When she was in a hospital for two weeks due to a bone fracture in August 2017, she reportedly asked for medication for insomnia and received it six times.
The suspect booked a motel room next to the victim, a construction worker resting during rain, and invited him over for a cup of coffee.
Police confiscated her tea cups and sent them to the National Forensic Service for analysis.
Lee was arrested after the NFS detected a great quantity of chemicals related to sleeping pills. Unauthorized use of the victim’s credit card had also been found.
Police are to seek an arrest warrant for the suspect.
