(ANSA) - Milan, February 27 - An elderly woman in Italy who
tried to kill her disabled husband with a rolling pin, then with
drugs, and finally suffocation has been arrested for attempted
murder.
The husband, who is 77 and has difficultly walking, was
treated in hospital for bleeding from his head after his
75-year-old wife walloped him with a rolling pin.The woman, who reportedly said she was tired of caring for him, is now under house arrest at her daughter's home.
The attack began Tuesday afternoon when she gave him five sleeping pills, intending to suffocate him once he passed out.
However, she instead gave him antihistamines that only stunned the elderly man, who fought off the plastic bag his wife used to try and suffocate him.
To subdue her victim, the woman allegedly cracked him on the head a few times with the rolling pan, causing some head injuries.
Police say the woman is now sorry for her actions.
