Woman who fed husband poisoned milkshake convicted
Nancy Kissel, a 46-year-old American who bludgeoned her husband to death after feeding him a drug-laced milkshake, has been found guilty of his death in a retrial in Hong Kong.
Mrs Kissel’s was originally convicted in 2005 of murder, but had the verdict overturned at appeal because of procedural flaws. At the start of the retrial, in front of Hong Kong’s highest court, Mrs Kissel pleaded guilty to manslaughter, rather than murder, arguing that she was suffering from severe depression at the time of the crime.
