So was the fan electrocuted as well?

Classic Sun article:

 

"He had only just married his now-widowed wife"

"The singer died almost instantly on stage when the wet fan came up and hugged him.

Seconds later, the musician suffered an electric shock and was killed on the spot in Salinopolis, Brazil on July 13."

How awful that he died twice, seconds apart.

Not dead but quite a horror story.

 

Man ties wife to a tree with a chain. Found 40 days later barely alive.

 

And then there are people who do this to pets every year they go on holiday.....

As we say in the Netherlands, now the monkey comes out of the sleeve.....

 

Turns out she did it herself.

Wow! How do you come up with this? No death this time but.... close.

 

Russian Chess Player Arrested After Poisoning Her Opponent

 

A chess player has been suspended by the Russian Chess Federation and is reportedly facing time in jail after she allegedly tried to poison her rival at the chessboard during a tournament. Amina Abakarova, a 40-year-old chess coach from Makhachkala in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, is accused of trying to poison her rival, 30-year-old Umayganat Osmanova.

The incident unfolded during the Dagestan Chess Championship on August 2, according to a Telegram channel that first reported on the story, and is now making headlines in state-run Russian news media as well as reaching global media as well.

Security camera footage shows the incident where Abakarova calmly walked over to the board where Osmanova was supposed to appear 20 minutes later. It was reported that she'd previously asked if cameras were in operation and been told that they weren't. She then smeared what is said to be potentially deadly mercury from a thermometer.

Brought up with the notion to win at any cost perhaps? She knew what she was doing.  Mercury poisoning is a serious thing.  Just scare her my foot
