A grand jury in Olmsted County has indicted a former Mayo Clinic medical resident on first and second-degree murder charges after investigators say Connor Bowman poisoned his wife. 

Connor Bowman was initially charged with second-degree murder following his arrest on Oct. 20, 2023. On Thursday a grand jury in Olmsted County added a first-degree premeditated murder charge. 

Connor Bowman, 30, a poison specialist and former medical resident at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota is accused of poisoning his wife, Betty Bowman, a 32-year-old pharmacist who died days after she went to a hospital in August with stomach distress. 

The former doctor is currently being held in the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center on $2 million bail. His next scheduled court date is set for Jan. 16, 2024.
