A North Carolina man accused of fatally poisoning his wife with eyedrops is now being accused of attempting to poison their 11-year-old daughter with the same substance, resulting in her hospitalization, according to court documents.

Joshua Lee Hunsucker was booked on Tuesday and prosecutors have asked that his bond be revoked amid concerns he is abusing and neglecting one of his children, neglecting another child and intimidating witnesses in his murder case. Prosecutors argued that he has become "increasingly aggressive" and that his "dangerous actions will continue to escalate," according to court documents.

Hunsucker, 40, is accused of poisoning his then-10-year-old daughter with eyedrops over a year after he allegedly killed his wife with the same substance. He put the eye drops into his child's beverage and the substance was found in their urine sample, according to court documents.
