Neston sugar water murder: Wife killed husband with boiling mix
bbc ^

Posted on 06/16/2021 8:54:08 AM PDT by mylife

A woman who poured a mix of boiling water and sugar over her husband to "extract vengeance" after a family row has been found guilty of his murder.

Corinna Smith, 59, attacked 81-year-old Michael Baines while he was in bed at their home in Highfield Road in Neston, Cheshire, on 14 July 2020.

He suffered extensive burns and died five weeks later in hospital.

Smith denied murdering her husband of 38 years but she was found guilty by a jury at Chester Crown Court.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Smith, who was also her husband's carer, had been involved in a dispute with him and another family member prior to the killing.

Shortly after midnight, she took a bucket from her garden, boiled up two kettles of water and mixed the water with three bags of sugar, the CPS said.

Smith, who was previously known as Corinna Baines, then poured the liquid over him while he was sleeping before running to a neighbour's house in tears and telling them: "I've hurt him, I've hurt him really bad... I think I've killed him."

She’d have been smarter to catch COVID and then cough on him.

She probably looked better at 22, but he was 43, and likely had the kind of terrible personality that some young woman with their own terrible personalities fall prey too.

If she knew her father.
Girls with daddy issues usually marry old nasty men.

That’s an old prison recipe for killing someone bigger in thier bunk.

A lot of baby oil

A little water

Sugar....cups

Styrofoam pieces

Put in large pvc bowl like the Cubans in the feds use to make rice dishes and place in micro wave for enough time to bubble like lava

Pour over face and upper chest of sleeping sex predator saving some for his crotch

If he’s hard to get to sling it on him

It’ll turn the darkest African pink

And it’ll turn a wood a nice charcoal hue

Strange isn’t that....

Wonder if she’d been in the pokey

She doesn’t look very remorseful...lol

Crazy mad woman round table today

This thread is made for y’all

I see Burning Beds everywhere

Help me

I got newsflash for you somewhat less than good mood old ladies here

There are some mean assed crazy women in this world even if beautiful who will kill you in rage over nothing or something imagined

I know this cause I’ve lived it. And survived it..

Only thing I’ll say in this woman’s defense is she was likely not bad looking when younger

And she was legal

Can nobody do math here ...there is a calculator on your iPad....

Now I’m going sexist

Thin lipped women....caution.....danger Will Rogers

Yeah, I noticed that, too, and also noticed "husband of 38 years..."

Doing the math, she was 21 and he was 43 when they were married.
