QUIRKY WORLD ... Spelling mistake catches wife with poison in mind

ENGLAND: A British woman who tried to kill her husband by poisoning his Christmas drink with anti-freeze was jailed for 15 years after being undone by a spelling mistake and a trail of text messages.

Following family arguments, Jacqueline Patrick, aged 55, twice tried to kill her husband Douglas, 70, in October and on Christmas Day 2013, by spiking his cherry Lambrini.

“Perhaps most shocking of all was the note she gave to the London Ambulance Service purporting to be from her husband, stating that he did not wish to be resuscitated,” said Detective Inspector Tracey Miller, of London’s Metropolitan Police.
