A Sydney GP accused of injecting his wife with a lethal dose of insulin said he left home after an argument and when he returned she was dead.

Brian Kenneth Crickitt told detectives he left the couple's Woodbine home in Sydney's southwest about 2am on New Year's Day 2010 after an argument in which his wife Christine accused him of having an affair.

He said when he returned about 8.15am she was dead in their en suite.

"I saw her lying on the floor, just sort of slumped face down on the floor," he told police that night in a video-recorded interview, which was played at his NSW Supreme Court trial on Thursday.

(Australia again! 😱)
 
So if he injected her why didn't she call for help the death/comma would have taken a few hours to occur, thus she would not have been stone cold when found so something somewhere isn't quite right is it?
 
2.00am on New Years Day. How much drink had she taken? She may have been asleep or unconscious from drink when he injected her with the insulin, she felt hungry, staggered out of bed and collapsed while he was out.

Or, she injected herself with insulin in a drunken rage, regretted it, stagggered out of bed to get food and collapsed.

Either is believable.

And Sue, he said she was cold, not stone cold.

At the end of the day, having publicised this case for no other reason that the murder weapon was insulin, are we to expect sudden bereavements among our members? No need to forge prescriptions among this audience, is there, Northerner?
 
Just wondering, why would a GP need to Google information on insulin overdoses? Sounds more like something a muggle would do if they were contemplating suicide, especially if said muggle was not a diabetic.

Could she have got hold of prescription details for her husband's patients?

Worryingly you know all the answers
 
There was a most unfortunate gentleman who waited tables at my local tandoori house (hmmmmmmmm yummy yummy curry). His wife came home one day and told him that she was running off with his sister. His kids had turned to glue and drugs and he was losing his through through skipping mortgage payments. In a fit of desperation he injected himself with curry powder. The poor chap slipped into a korma
 
Oh no, Lillian, we are bound to get a stream of strained curry puns now....🙂
 
I think we got a good dhal of them...
 
I'll pop a dumbbell on the next person who makes a rotten pun😡
