Corinna Smith poured boiling water mixed with sugar on her husband whilst he slept, killing him. Corinna said that she found out he had been sexually abusing their children.
The incident took place at their home in Highfield Road in Neston, Cheshire, on 14 July 20201. Michael Baines, 81, suffered extensive burns and died five weeks later in hospital. Corinna Smith, 59, was found guilty after a trial at Chester Crown Court and jailed for life with a minimum of 12 years. On the day of the incident, Corinna Smith returned home and filled a bucket from her garden with boiling water and mixed it with 3kg of sugar. As her husband of 38 years lay asleep in bed she poured the contents over his arms and torso and then left the property. A neighbour contacted police and the ambulance service after she told him: "I’ve hurt him really bad, I think I’ve killed him." Corinna Smith’s son reportedly died by suicide in 2007. Many online crime hobbyists are empathetic to her desire to avenge her daughter and late son. Several Reddit users have called for her to be freed from prison as they believe her violence was justified,
@PicturesFoIder Based on the evidence, it sounds like she did nothing wrong? What am I missing

full Context/details An enraged British mom was sentenced to life in prison for killing her husband with a boiling mixture of water and sugar after she was told he had sexually assaulted her two children. Prosecutors say Corinna Smith, 59, of Neston, near Liverpool, poured the superheated liquid over Michael Baines, 80, as he slept in their bed last year, according to reports. He suffered burns over one-third of his body and died weeks later from his injuries. Prosecutors told a local court the sugar “made the liquid more viscous, thicker and stickier, so that it stays on the skin and causes greater damage.” Smith, reportedly “livid” and “fuming” at news of her spouse’s alleged predatory behavior, mixed two kettles of water with three bags of sugar before attacking Baines in bed. Smith’s daughter claimed Baines had sexually abused her and her brother “for many years when they were children.” The brother, Craig, committed suicide in 2007, and had been imprisoned for an assault. He had told his mother the man he attacked was a “pedophile” who had “touched him sexually,” according to reports. She will serve a minimum of 12 years in jail before she can be considered for parole.
