A Berkeley engineer has been charged with attempted murder in the alleged poisoning of one of his colleagues over several months, according to prosecutors.
David Xu, an engineer at Berkeley Engineering and Research, was charged with attempted premeditated murder.
Berkeley police began investigating Xu after his colleague, identified in a criminal complaint as Rong Yuan, reported her suspicion that Xu was poisoning her while the two worked together at Berkeley Engineering and Research, police said. After suspecting Xu, Yuan reviewed surveillance video from her office and saw Xu adding something to her water bottle on two occasions on Feb. 11 and March 4, according to court records. Xu’s criminal complaint also alleges that he poisoned Yuan on Nov. 29 and Dec. 13.
