UPDATE: Former Redmond Woman Pleads Not Guilty in 2006 Kirkland Poisoning Murder

A 56-year-old former Redmond woman accused in the poisoning death of a Kirkland man in 2006 pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of first-degree murder and first-degree assault.

Janjira Smith, extradited from Great Britain last month, made the plea in King County Superior Court in Seattle before Judge Ronald Kessler.

Smith remains in the King County Jail, with bail set at $5 million. She is scheduled for a case-setting hearing in the King County Courthouse on Sept. 7, during which a trial date could be set, said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecutors Office.

She is charged in the poisoning death of her former boyfriend, Roger Lewis, and in the poisoning of a woman who survived, Thanyarat “Nina” Sengpharaghanh.

Smith is being represented by public defenders Gary Davis and Kevin Dolan.

Prosecutors allege that Smith in October of 2006 gave a bottle of insecticide-laced Jagermeister to Lewis after she found out he planned to marry another woman. Lewis and Sengpharaghanh quickly became disoriented and ill after drinking the concoction at his Kirkland apartment. A friend discovered them the next day. Lewis died at the scene, but Sengpharaghanh recovered.

Smith fled to her native Thailand before ever being charged, according to Kirkland Police. She was arrested by United Kingdom Customs in December of 2008 after arriving on a flight from Switzerland. The U.S. Marshals Service at the time said it had been close to capturing her in Thailand, from which she might have been fleeing.

After a long extradition process, U.S. marshals brought her back to Washington and she was booked into King County Jail on June 17.

Her last known local address was on NE 84th Way in Redmond.
