QuoteA wife plotted with her lover and his daughter to kill her terminally ill husband by poisoning him and shooting him in the face.

Ray Weatherall survived a number of attempts on his life, including a swimming pool heater explosion which left him with second degree burns

His wife Hayley Weatherall, 32, also planned to kill him using sleeping tablets and insulin.
...
Prosecutor Simon Taylor said there had been a series of plots on Mr Weatherall's life, including the swimming pool explosion and the poison plan.

The court heard there was an aborted plan by Glenn Pollard to push Mr Weatherall overboard during a fishing trip in a boat they co-owned.

On 29 November last year Mr Weatherall was shot in the face at Sandwich Marina, but survived when the bullet hit his right cheekbone.

Presumably they got their murder supplies from ACME Co.

I like how they started off all subtle and machiavellian before ending up just shooting him in the face.

Ray, I know it's hard but you have to think about leaving her

That's a weird one. I mean...the tone of the piece implies that this wasn't a mercy killing but a murder. But the poor fucker was terminally ill, why didn't she just wait?

Is he still alive then?


If I was him I'd deliberately die on the day she gets sentenced just to piss her off.

It's always great in cases like this when the police find things like ''how to get away with murder'' and ''how to kill someone and make it look like an accident'' in the defendant's Google search history, as if anyone who successfully got away with it would explain how they did it on the (regular) internet.

It's Kent.

It's not so daft when you think about it. Aren't all murder victims ultimately heading at various trajectories towards the grave?

Indeed, the overall tale is laughably ridiculous, but the details are fucking grim:

Yeah once you get past the Ealing comedy attempts on his life it's miserable as hell

What!?

Yeah the reports seemed to have missed out the part where they dropped a piano on him and he looks dazed with piano keys for teeth.

And the bit where they hit him with a big mallet, then a big red lump grew out of the top of his hair, while chirping birds and small coloured star shapes circled his head, while he sat, cross-eye, with a silly grin and his tongue sticking out.
