American woman charged with attempted murder for putting lily of the valley roots in her husband's drinks. Without a spy camera to thwart this mother's plans, the famous bell plant could have sounded the death knell for the thirty-year-old.
Sarah S. allegedly applied this poisonous “recipe” for approximately six weeks, her husband having subsequently listed eight incidents, some of which caused him sudden and unexplained discomfort. The roots of l Lily of the Valley can in fact present a serious danger, particularly to the heart, in the event of quantities ingested regularly over a short period.
