HONG KONG JURY: MILKSHAKE MURDERER GUILTY

KILLER KISSEL

SHE plied his milkshake with drugs and then smashed his head with a metal ornament until he died a Hong Kong jury judged yesterday.
Nancy Kissel struck her husband at least five times while he lay face down in the bedroom after using six drugs to subdue him, hidden in the sweet, sugary drink.
Then she covered his body with a plastic bag and towels, wrapped it in a carpet and had it moved into storage.
Kissel testified in this her second trial, that her husband, who's estate was worth $18 million in life insurance, stocks and properties, changed after she had the first of their three children in 1994.
She said:  "The more involved he got with the investment banking, the more forceful he was with me sexually."
Her lawyers argued she was a battered, clinically-depressed wife who acted
under diminished responsibility when her husband provoked her attack.
But a jury dismissed her claims and gave her a unanimous verdict and automatic life sentence which matches the outcome of the first trial against her.
