It’s a bizarre crime that tore through a sleepy regional town in Victoria, Australia.

A stay-at-home mom was found guilty of drugging and killing her husband by lacing his favorite lemon cookies with sleeping pills.

The outback town of Walpeup in northwestern Victoria, Australia was torn in half after 68-year-old Noel Payne was killed inside his own home by his wife Rebecca Payne in 2020.

The killer looked very crazed and unhinged in the photo I saw in the article!

Oh my! Now unhappy wives the world over will suddenly have a desire to stay home and cook and bake for their husbands (and make sure those life insurance payments are up-to-date). Trad wives! It’s the new trend!

That story went from bad to worse very quickly.

The “I will bite you” scowl and the black rose tattoo on the shoulder says it all for me.

She deserves a murder conviction.

Australia is even more gynocentric than America. If he really was a bad person, one phone call would get cops over to remove him no sweat. Women who pull this junk always say the guy beats them. Same way as all their ex’s are labeled a-holes.

She was crushing the Temazepam with a mortar and pestle! That is the kind of artisanal murder you don’t get with modern women. And poison, that’s a traditional female way of killing.

She claimed she panicked and quickly wrapped the body in a blanket before tying each end with duct tape, dumping him in a chest freezer and strapping the freezer door closed.

Definitely a sign of a failing relationship.

A few days later Rebecca dragged the freezer to a neighbor’s backyard.

So, some advice: if you chance to find a new freezer in your yard and you open it up and find a corpse, don't just say, "Hey, great! Free freezer!" and drag it to your garage. Dump the corpse first.

My fraternity, Phi Lambda, would pledge two girls each year to help with party planning. One year the Phi Lambs thought we were hazing the pledges too much. They baked us a cake and put a bottle of Phenolax in the icing. The party was Friday night and by Saturday morning we were all pretty sick. Most of us walked around with a bottle of Kaopectate in our back pockets. The Lambs were so sorry when the saw what they had done to us, and we were too sick th be mad with them.

Do you remember the one where Barbara Bel Geddes kills her husband with a frozen lamb shank, then cooks it and feeds it to the police?
