A DENTIST has been accused of murdering his wife and mother of their six children after allegedly feeding her poison-laced protein shakes.

James Toliver Craig allegedly killed his wife Angela with shakes filled with arsenic and cyanide - and was texting his mistress while his wife was in the hospital.

Craig was arrested on Sunday morning in Aurora, Colorado, and faces a first-degree murder charge.

He took Angela to the hospital on Wednesday night after she complained of "severe headaches and dizziness," Aurora police said.

The 43-year-old mom of six was placed on a ventilator soon after arriving at the hospital and was later declared medically brain dead, according to cops.

That was Angela's third trip to the hospital since Craig allegedly began poisoning her on March 6.

Police launched an investigation after determining that the death was suspicious.

They found that Angela was poisoned and arrested Craig on Sunday after a warrant was issued.

“When the suspicious details of this case came to light, our team of officers and homicide detectives tirelessly worked to uncover the truth behind the victim’s sudden illness and death,” Division Chief Mark Hildebrand said.

“It was quickly discovered this was in fact a heinous, complex and calculated murder.

"I am very proud of our Major Crimes Homicide Unit’s hard work in solving this case and pursuing justice for the victim.”

The 45-year-old husband allegedly gave his wife a shake laced with arsenic on March 6 - the first known instance of the poisoning, the warrant stated.

That day, Angela complained of nausea and pain after consuming the shake, the docs say.

Text messages revealed that Angela told Craig that the drink tasted "weird."

"Good to know! I won't drink one," Craig responded, according to the warrant.

Police became more suspicious after learning Craig ordered potassium cyanide, according to the arrest docs.

Authorities also found that Craig had been searching the internet for answers to questions including: “Is Arsenic Detectable in Autopsy?” 

Meanwhile, Craig reportedly texted his mistress about his wife's condition while in the hospital, Daily Mail reported.

The outlet reports that the Texas woman allegedly visited Craig in Colorado while Angela was hospitalized.

According to documents obtained by Daily Mail, Craig allegedly told officers that his relationship with his wife "had always been tumultuous."

He also allegedly "had multiple affairs with several women," and admitted to his wife that he had suffered from a pornography addiction from the time he was a teen.

Craig is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday to learn whether he will be charged.
