Update on the Boiling Oil Murderer

[BOSSHOG]

In August 2006, a wife in Diamond Head, Mississippi doused her sleeping husband with boiling oil (according to him.) Her story was different. He died a few days later. It took a jury less then 90 minutes to sentence her to life in prison after they found her guilty of murder.

1. Ow. That's an even worse way to go than falling in a wood chipper.

2. What a horrible end to a violent relationship

"During her trial, Sanders said her husband of one year was abusive on several occasions to her and her children, then ages 6 and 13. He beat her as the two fought late on the night of July 27, 2006, and he then went down a hallway to retrieve a handgun from their bedroom, she said."

"Sanders said she then took a one-quart saucepan of boiling oil from the kitchen stove, where she had been preparing to cook fish sticks. She followed her husband into the bedroom and doused the oil on him as he was pulling a gun from under the bed mattress, she said."

"Sanders then fled the home with her two children, who were already waiting in her car, for Louisiana. She surrendered herself after learning her husband had died in Alabama."
