U.S. Woman Admits Killing Banker Husband

HONG KONG (AP) - An American woman who pleaded innocent to murdering her husband in Hong Kong testified Thursday that she beat the wealthy investment banker to death with a metal statue.

Nancy Kissel, 41, is accused of giving her husband a milkshake spiked with drugs, bludgeoning him to death during a quarrel, wrapping his body in a rug and placing it in a storage locker at the couple's luxury apartment complex in 2003.

Kissel has testified that the day her 40-year-old husband died, he told her he was divorcing her and taking their three children. She said that during an argument, he hit her with a baseball bat and she struck him with a metal statue with human figurines on it.

But the defendant said she couldn't clearly recall what happened in the struggle, although she said she did hit something and her husband's head was bloody.

1. Sigh

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

2. the sui version

Let me not to the marriage of small minds
Admit metal statues. Love sure as hell ain't love
Which assaulters when it altercation finds,
Or bends the skull with the bat to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark (on the forehead)
That looks on tempests and gives drug-filled shaken(s);
It is the scar to every wandering mark,
Whose net worth is well known, although his checkbook be taken.

6. not necessarily

I don't care who is on the "killing" end, killing is wrong.

Unfortunately, you're starting to see more and more stories citing women as the culprits.

Maybe we learned it from men.

Ya think??
