SOFIA (Reuters) - A Bulgarian woman who killed her son was released from prison because of terminal cancer. She then went home and killed her husband, police said Tuesday.

The 57-year-old was sentenced to 15 years in jail for killing her 29-year-old son with a garden hoe in April 2005 while he was sleeping.

Last month, authorities judged her to be in the final stages of cancer and let her go home, where she stabbed her husband in the throat with a knife.

"It was established she was in the last stage of cancer, she had it all over her body," said a spokeswoman for the Bourgas regional police.

"They presumed she was feeling bad and she would treat herself and rest. But nothing of the kind. She got aggressive and ... she killed her husband."

The woman, from a village in eastern Bulgaria, has been taken into custody again and is awaiting a new trial.

"She threatened that, if she is released again, she will kill her second son as well," the police spokeswoman said.

"The whole case is like something from the twilight zone."

Sounds like Bulgaria has a Democratic Party, just like the good 'ol USA.

It's Bush's fault.

Hmmm, maybe the judge that released her should take her in.

"She threatened that, if she is released again, she will kill her second son as well," the police spokeswoman said.

That’s probably just an idle threat. Let her go again.

I couldn't help myself but had to laugh at the sheer stupidity of this.

I can't find the original posting, but another FReeper recently suggested that for the worst offenses a 15 Sievert dose of radiation be used on offenders... I saw this and thought hmmm.... time for somebody's radiation therapy.

from wikipedia:10–50 Sv (1,000–5,000 REM) Acute radiation poisoning, 100% fatality after 7 days (LD 100/7). An exposure this high leads to spontaneous symptoms after 5 to 30 minutes. After powerful fatigue and immediate nausea caused by direct activation of chemical receptors in the brain by the irradiation, there is a period of several days of comparative well-being, called the latent (or "walking ghost") phase. After that, cell death in the gastric and intestinal tissue, causing massive diarrhea, intestinal bleeding and loss of water, leads to water-electrolyte imbalance. Death sets in with delirium and coma due to breakdown of circulation. Death is currently inevitable; the only treatment that can be offered is pain therapy

oh, and withhold the pain therapy

Dukakis.

I wonder if this judge was a distant relative of his?

No, it's like something from a place where they mollycoddle killers and don't have the death penalty.

Only 15 yrs for murder?

[BenLurkin]

Just d-mn.

[cajungirl]

I think she just had a bad day,,,or two bad days.

[cajungirl]

LOL. Yall are killing me.

I think she deserves another chance, after all her son lost his Daddy and his Brother. All he has is her.

[art_rocks]

Lets show some compassion for the widow. How tragic she has lost her 1st born son, now a husband and received threats against her 2nd born son from a convicted murderer. Lets all say a prayer for this woman and her family.

"The whole case is like something from the twilight zone."

you're telling me....

Only a Liberal idiot would think that dying of cancer turned violent killers into law abiding citizens.....

and if they RELLY believed that...I think of a few folks that could use a "cancer" treatment....

in fact- I think of a few million radical terrorists that might need this "cure"
