It’s not everyday that I get to see stories about three such outlandish and twisted crimes on the front page of a news site. And all with the same theme. Check them out.

Grandmother ‘hacked husband to death’ | National News | News.com.au

A grandmother hacked her 71-year-old husband to death with a machete because she thought he was seeing other women, a court has been told.

Kamalavati Sundar, 70, pleaded not guilty in the Supreme Court jury in Brisbane today to murdering her husband Ram as he slept in their Woodridge home in December 2005.

Mr Sundar was found lying face-down in bed with at least 14 machete wounds to his head and the top of his arms, prosecutor Angus Edwards told the court, the Courier-Mail reports.

This last one above, the seriousness of the case notwithstanding – I can just imagine the magistrate’s face when the accused said it was consensual. Hahah!
