by lacing a curry with slug pellets.
Gareth Stewart, 37, took the dish to the home of his next-door neighbours, Ann Marie Walton and Beverley Sales, in Alexandra Road, Denton, claiming he had ordered too much from the Indian takeaway.
But the women noticed something about the curry did not look right. Rather than tucking in, they called police and handed the meal over to officers.
Experts found it had been spiked with metaldehyde a chemical commonly used as slug and snail pesticide and Stewart was arrested.
Deadly
The chemical, also used in camping fuel, can cause significant health problems in humans and can be deadly if ingested in large quantities.
Stewart pleaded guilty to two charges of attempting to poison the women.
Judge Peter Lakin, at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court, told Stewart, who will be sentenced next month, that he was bearing a prison sentence in mind. He has already been in custody for over 70 days.
The attempted poisoning happened on September 22.
Stewart has denied two charges of making threats to kill.
Prosecutor Jennifer Birch told the court he allegedly walked past the womens home on October 3 and mouthed through the window 'youre dead'.
She said the defendant, on bail at the time, disputed this and, in light of the more serious offences he has pleaded to, the crown accepted his not guilty pleas.
there is some fkin idiots about :^0

strange, presumably he wasn't on the best of terms with the women, so they were bound to be a bit suspicious when the food arrived, seems to be a lot of would be poisoners about at the moment, dispicable cowardly crime, I hope he gets a serious stretch.
