Man’s Attempt to Make Wife Take Poison
CHRISTCHURCH, Oct. 19. Poisoning and attempted poisoning were classes of crime that could not be tolerated in New Zealand for it was an insidious form of crime in which a person who did it once was liable to do it again, said Mr Justice Fleming, in sentencing Joseph Nadepa, a grinder, aged 37, to one year’s reformative detention on a charge of attempting to make his wife, June Annette Nalepa, take poison with intent to annoy or injure. "I am afraid U.K is one of those people with a leaning towards administering poison,” His Honour continued. “It is my duty to put him away to teach him and others that poisoners are not wanted here.”
