ATLANTA, May 18 (UPI) -- An Atlanta area police officer's widow, convicted of killing him by poisoning him with anti-freeze, will no longer receive a $790 a month pension.
Cobb County spokesman Robert Quigley said the county also will try to recover $85,000 in police pension funds that Lynn Turner has already received, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
County officials decided on the course of action based on pension law that denies benefits to anyone convicted of murdering a county employee.
Turner, a former 911 operator, was sentenced to life in prison following a jury's guilty verdict in Perry, Ga., Friday.
Prosecutors said they plan to file another murder indictment in the death in 2001 of her boyfriend Randy Thompson, a Forsyth County firefighter. Authorities say he also died of anti-freeze poisoning.
Turner's attorney is expected to file an appeal of her conviction.
