Woman admits to adding excrement to spicy meal

A Scottish woman has admitted putting dog excrement in her husband's curry after their relationship broke down, the state prosecutor's office said on Wednesday.

Jill Martin, 47, started laughing after placing the dish in front of husband Donald and watching him eat it, prosecutor Margaret Dunnipace told Paisley Sheriff Court in west central Scotland in comments quoted by the BBC online.

Her lawyer, Terry Gallanagh, reportedly said the case was like "an episode of Desperate Housewives," the award-winning US comedy which follows the lives of five women in suburbia.

The March incident came amid trouble in the couple's 21-year marriage -- Gallanagh said Martin suffered mental abuse over five years and that her husband had questioned her parenting skills and started a business without her knowledge.
