A woman in the UK who mixed boiling water with sugar and poured it on her husband has been found guilty of his murder.
Corinna Smith, 59, attacked 81-year-old Michael Baines in the middle of the night in July last year in their Cheshire home.
The BBC reported shortly after midnight, she took a garden bucket, filled it with boiling water and mixed in sugar.
She then poured the mixture on her sleeping husband.
Following this she ran to her neighbour's house crying telling them "I've hurt him, I've hurt him really bad... I think I've killed him."
The BBC reports Baines was found groaning in agony and sustained burns to more than a third of his body.
He died from his injuries a month later in August.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said "Her actions were deliberate and considered."
Smith, who was also her husband's carer, had been involved in a dispute with him and another family member prior to the killing, the CPS said in court.
"She was clearly upset about the dispute... but the evidence demonstrated that she was in control and acted in anger when she poured the lethal mixture over her husband and wanted to extract vengeance."
She will be sentenced in July.
