Simply too fantastic

From this article in the NYT detailing the murder of a Hong Kong Merrill Lynch banker by his wife.

Ms. Kissel admitted during the trial that when she flew with the children to Vermont in the spring of 2003, fleeing an outbreak of SARS in Hong Kong, she had an affair with a stereo repairman. Her husband suspected the affair and hired a private detective who photographed the repairman's van outside the Kissels' vacation home for several hours nightly.

The husband also installed spy software on Ms. Kissel's laptop computer. The prosecution presented evidence that upon returning to Hong Kong, she had typed search terms like "overdose of sleeping pills" and "medications causing heart attack." She then went to local doctors who wrote a series of prescriptions for sleep medications.

The prosecution charged that Ms. Kissel had served her husband a milkshake laced with Rohypnol, the date-rape drug, and three other sleep-inducing medications, all found in his stomach in an autopsy.

Mr. King also said that Mr. Kissel had frequently coerced his wife into having painful anal sex for five years before his death, and was trying to do so again at the time she killed him. He presented evidence that Mr. Kissel had used his computer to look at homosexual pornography and to search for information about anal sex in Taiwan before taking a trip there.
