SPINAZZOLA, Italy (Reuters) - An Italian pensioner beat her husband to death with a scrubbing brush because the couple had never had children, Italian media has reported.

The woman in her 70s from Spinazzola, near Bari, on Italy's southeast coast, brawled with 78-year-old husband Ignazio Lacitignola on a daily basis, finally killing him on December 8 with dozens of blows from the heavy bathroom brush, Italian daily La Repubblica reported on Saturday. Police confirmed his death.

"It seems the woman, even after years of marriage, resented her husband for never having given her a child," the newspaper report said. The local prosecutor had issued a warrant for the unnamed woman's arrest.

Either the kids get you or the wife. Damed if you do, damned if you don't.

That's what she gets for marrying a Greek.
