Woman Dances with Shotgun and Shoots Husband Dead 

(Southampton, England) You just can't make this stuff up.

From the UK Telegraph:
A woman accused of murdering her husband of two months, said yesterday that she shot him accidentally as she danced provocatively for him with his shotgun to the music of Shania Twain.

Linda West, 49, was called upon to demonstrate in court how she had gyrated to the song Man! I Feel Like a Woman, using a broom handle to represent the gun.

She said she had decided to arouse her husband Gregory, 45, who was wearing only a dressing gown after getting out of the bath. It was a "sexual game" that had tragic consequences, she said.
Apparently, the husband at some point decided that the sexy game needed a loaded shotgun and retrieved a BSA500 from the bedroom and "asked her to dance with it."
Mr West was found dead in an armchair by police after his wife made a hysterical 999 call. He had a single shotgun wound to his chest.
Will a jury believe this outlandish story? Who knows? I surely don't.

The trial continues.
