Love to the grave: the wife tried to kill her husband several times, but he forgave her

The relationship between spouses is a very complicated thing. Sometimes, over time, they only get stronger, but it also happens that one of the spouses begins to hate his other half. That's exactly what happened to one couple from Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA. The wife hated her faithful so much that she made several attempts to kill him. Strangely, this story has a happy and romantic ending.

Tony and Francis have lived together for 17 years, raised four children and built a joint business. But their marriage has cracked. The woman found out that her husband had a mistress and regularly cheats on her. Often in such situations, people discuss the problem, of course, with emotions and reproaches. But in this case, it wasn't like that. The deceived Frances did not show that she knew about her husband's adventures, but simply decided to kill him.

She made the first attempt with the help of poison, which she added in small doses to the man's food and drinks. The insidious lady wanted the toxin to act gradually, and death was like a natural one. She did not succeed, although her husband complained of feeling unwell and even went to the hospital for 12 days.

Fortunately for the poisoner, the doctors of the provincial clinic could not accurately determine the cause of the patient's malaise, and the criminal got away with the attempt. Impunity inspired the villain to try again. The second time she tried to eliminate her husband by mining his car. But even then she suffered a setback and the device did not work.

Desperate to solve the problem on her own, Frances turned to professionals. She hired hitmen three times, paying for their services from her savings. The unfortunate man was beaten with a baseball bat and kicked and even shot with a pistol. But, obviously, the traitor had a vigilant guardian angel, and the poor guy survived every time. At the same time, until the very last moment, he did not suspect a life partner who portrayed an attentive loving wife with all her might.

But all the secrets become clear, and one day everything was revealed. The loser killer was arrested by the police and she was charged with a whole list of charges. Surprisingly, Tony, who was almost sent to the next world several times, forgave his wife and asked not to punish her severely. The court took into account the sincere repentance of the woman and the absence of claims on the part of the victim. Vengeful Frances received only 4 years in prison, and her husband ... patiently waited for her release.

Many years have passed since then, and recently the couple celebrated the 57th anniversary of their life together. They live soul to soul and love to tell their story to journalists. Their story is so unusual that based on it, director Lawrence Kasdan shot the comedy "I love you to death". It was released in 1990 and made good box office receipts in the USA. By the way, this film starred a young and still little-known Keanu Reeves.
