Couple's Curry Poisoner Avoids Jail Time
A man who laced a curry with slug pellets and offered it to his neighbours has been given a six-month suspended sentence.
Gareth Stewart, 37, of Denton, Greater Manchester, had admitted poisoning the dish before giving it to Ann Marie Walton and Beverley Sales.
He had offered the couple the curry as a peace offering after they accused him of kidnapping their three-legged cat.
Stewart, who was sentenced at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court, had told the pair he had ordered too much food from a local Indian takeaway.
Luckily the women noticed the dish did not look right and called the police and handed the meal over.
Tests revealed it had been laced with metaldehyde - a chemical usually used as a pesticide for slugs and snails.
It can cause significant health problems in humans and can be deadly if ingested in large quantities.
At an earlier hearing, Stewart had admitted two counts of attempting to administer a poison with intent on September 22 last year.
