Nothing special, right ? Man jailed for killing wife with TV remote control

After all, he is an electrical engineer .... program the clicker, hit the button , and kaboom .... wife in pieces ... but .....

Electrical engineer sentenced to three years for throwing gadget that struck weakened area of wife's skull

A man who killed his wife by throwing a TV remote control at her during a petty argument was jailed for three years today

Neither Paul Harvey nor his wife, Gloria Laguna, was aware that she had a congenital condition that meant her skull was eggshell-thin in certain places.

By pure chance the remote control struck Laguna at the back of her head, where she suffered the defect. The 48-year-old former US diplomat, who had moved to the UK when she met her husband, collapsed almost immediately.

She was taken to hospital with only a minor bruise to her neck but was pronounced dead the next morning.

Harvey, 46, an electrical engineer, was in tears today as he was sentenced at the Old Bailey after admitting his wife's manslaughter during the row at their home in Euston, central London.

The court heard that the couple had been drinking and taking cocaine during an evening at their flat in March. As they watched television they began arguing about the maintenance Harvey paid to his step-daughter. Harvey lost his temper and hurled the remote control in the direction of his wife, not aiming for her head.
