He added: "Mrs Knight's motive was, we say, financial. She had run up debts."
Life is so very cheap to some people....how utterly heartbreaking.
Hang her!
Has she heard of Divorce?
Exactly! Same result. Free from both debts and husband.
Must have been personal...
Note to self: When planning to kill someone, take the time to do the research at the public library. Using books.
I suppose that this option escaped her perceived range of options just as adoption is 'overlooked' by the pro-infanticide zealots. For some, it seems that it's just so much easier to kill.
OOoooh, she is one tough looking customer.
This is why you are not supposed to drain the radiator fluid onto the driveway and leave it there for the dogs to come and drink it up. They seem to love the stuff.

From the looks of it she could’ve just rolled over in bed and called it accidental.
It is very sweet and therefore dangerous. I am really surprised that the government hasn't required a bittering agent added to it to eliminate its good taste. I touched my mouth after working on my car and realized that it had antifreeze on it. It would be scary to have it open around a child or pet.
Has to be one of the all-time great comebacks.
He probably had a life insurance policy.
"Here just put a pinch of this in her tea., Oh!, you've already done away with her, very good."
Thanks for posting the picture....the Daily Mail hadn’t put that up when I linked the article.
Another 28 year-old who looks fifty and finds it so easy to obtain exstacy pills that they are considered an equally-valid option as grocery-store antifreeze.
