Canada: A Perfect Marriage - Assisted Death and Divorce

Story here. Excerpt:

'In financial desperation and longing to live with her gigolo in the Dominican Republic, Nancy Lane, a Brockville nurse and former Prescott town councillor, killed her husband in 2009 by administering a lethal cocktail to cash in on a $200,000 life insurance policy, an Ottawa court heard Monday.

Lane, 55, is accused of killing Art Lane, 61, on Oct. 8, 2009, at their home.
...
The Crown’s theory is that Art Lane, a well-known union negotiator in Brockville, was better dead than alive to his wife. Morrison told court that Nancy Lane, on trial for first-degree murder, wanted to cash in on her husband’s life insurance policy to preserve her obsessive dreams of living with her gigolo in the Dominican Republic.

And, as the jury heard, Lane has presented her husband’s death as a mercy killing.'

"No Fault" Divorce has been available in Canada since 1968 but the country just recently considered legalizing "Euthanasia" - Nancy Lane saw the potential of combining both.'
