Footage shows former PHD chemistry student X. L. injecting chemicals into his neighbour’s home. The family began to experience vomiting, dizziness and severe headaches. The dispute with X.L started over noise. He was deported following the alleged crime.

Amazing that putting a tiny amount of some chemical would do that to people in their home. What was it!?
I want it!

[HIGHTECHDUDE]

I'd like to order 5 gallons, please...

Probably "Di-Hydrogen Oxide"



Either that, or something else.

Probably. That stuff is colorless, odorless, tasteless and relatively easy to obtain with the right contacts.

I noticed that the pHD chem student was not wearing a glove on his syringe hand.

These Oriental countries don't mess around when it comes to punishment for this kind of thing. I'm a little shocked that he wasn't executed instead of merely deported.

I would have poured a 50 gallon drum of the stuff through my old junkie neighbours' door

A Florida man is facing charges after police say he may have been attempting to poison his neighbors by injecting chemicals under the front door of their apartment.

Police say undercover video shows 36-year-old Xuming Li allegedly sticking a syringe under his neighbors’ front door and injecting a liquid into the Tampa Bay apartment.

Umar Abdullah, 36, lives inside that apartment with his wife and 1-year-old daughter. He says for more than a month, a chemical smell in their home was making his family sick. The symptoms included a headache worse than a migraine, nausea, shortness of breath, drowsiness and hair loss.

Suspicious of the odor, Abdullah hid a camera inside a plant facing his front door. He says he was shocked to capture Li, his downstairs neighbor, on video.

“We never expected anyone doing something, a neighbor who we knew by face at least for a year, so we were horrified. We were shaking,” Abdullah said.

Abdullah says he had been having a disagreement with Li over noise complaints that started shortly after his daughter was born.

After seeing the video, he called police, who sent out the hazmat team to investigate. The team found methadone and hydrocodone when they tested the liquid, according to an arrest affidavit.

“If you look at him, he’s holding his breath, so he knows the hazardous nature of this chemical,” Abdullah said.

Li was arrested in June on six charges, including multiple counts of battery, aggravated stalking and dispersing a chemical agent. He was a doctorate student in the University of South Florida’s chemistry department and was enrolled in the summer session.

He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, according to court records.

Abdullah says the ordeal has left his family shaken, and they’re now scared to make any noise whatsoever.

“Right now, I am afraid to live in any upper floors. I still believe there are not too many persons like him, but still, it’s like a trauma,” he said. “Whenever we accidentally drop our phone, we get shaken because what if, again, someone comes and just harms us?”

Li was released on bond two days after his arrest. His next court date is scheduled for December.

Xuming Li, a chemistry PhD graduate, is believed to have placed strong opioid painkillers methadone and hydrocodone, mixed with an unknown noxious element through his neighbors door during a dispute over noise. Chinese chemistry student who 'injected opioid solution through gap in family's door to sicken them over noisy toilet seat' is deported

Li was arrested after Umar Abdullah set up a secret camera in a plant pot outside his home on Palm Springs Boulevard, Tampa, and caught him in the act.

The 36-year-old chemistry researcher was charged with possession of a controlled substance, battery assault against the homeowners, and aggravated stalking.

However Li’s attorney, Adam Bantner told the Post that Li had been deported back to China by US immigration officials.
