A 48-year-old man from the suburbs of Copenhagen, Denmark, was jailed on
Monday for trying to kill his wife with a liter of frozen milk.
In the early morning hours of March 29th, the man from Lyngby took a
frozen liter of milk out of the freezer, put it in a pillowcase and went
in to his sleeping wife.
He laid a sheet over her and then struck her on the head with the milk-laden pillowcase several times. His wife screamed and woke up the couple’s two sleeping boys. As the boys tried to get in to their parents’ bedroom, the wife managed to fight off her husband’s attacks and escape.
While in court on Monday the man claimed to have no recollection of the incident, which he said happened while he was sleepwalking. The judge and 12-person jury disagreed with that line of defense and he was sentenced to six years in prison for attempted murder.
