ASHTABULA, Ohio (AP) — A northeast Ohio woman suspected of fatally poisoning her husband by slipping antifreeze into his drink has been released on $250,000 bond.

Ashtabula (ash-tuh-BYOO'-luh) County court records show 53-year-old Teresa Kotomski (kot-AHM'-skee) was granted bond Tuesday.

The records list no attorney for her. A person who answered the phone number listed for Kotomski's address says it's the wrong number.

Kotomski was arrested Friday on a murder charge in Conneaut (CON'-ee-ot), where she was living with family. Investigators have declined to discuss a possible motive or say what led them to her.

Kotomski's husband of five years, 65-year-old Raymond Kotomski, was found unconscious in his Pierpont home on Aug. 13, 2009. He died at a hospital days later. He had three grown children with his former wife.
