Beware of the horny goat weed.
The Daily Mail reported, via Free Republic:
A poet lured her husband into woodland for a drug-fuelled sex session and then slit his throat, a court was told yesterday.
Joanne Hale, 39, left him for dead so she could see a man she had met on the internet, a jury heard.
Hale gave her 43-year-old husband Peter a dose of a natural aphrodisiac called ‘horny goat weed’ before she blindfolded him and led him into local woods to act out her fantasy, it was alleged.
The couple kissed and ‘rolled about on the leaves’ as part of a ‘playful game’.
Then Hale sat astride her husband as he lay face- down on the ground and slit his throat with a knife, before plunging it into his neck and chest several times, a jury was told.
It is alleged that she abandoned his bleeding body when she was disturbed by a passer-by, and drove to a nearby railway station for her first meeting with a man she had befriended on the internet.
…Hale publishes her poetry on the internet and, according to her website, likes to write verse about ‘people, animals, love and everything that people care about’.
