It seems to me that the imagination never shuts down when it comes to creative killing. However, this next story is certainly off the beaten path and is beyond creative, I think.
Canned Vegetables

In summer 2015, Linda Clarene Jackson of Lake Los Angeles, California, was arrested for murder and faced allegations that she used canned foods as a deadly weapon. Jackson was accused of fatally beating her boyfriend, David Ruiz, with cans of peas, carrots, and chicken broth.
Police had been called on reports of a man who was injured and bleeding. They found Ruiz unresponsive, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said Jackson’s motive was unclear.
If convicted, she faced life in prison for her canned food killing. But her sentence has already been completed. On June 8, 2017, she died of natural causes behind bars while awaiting trial
I guess you could say she went to the "can" for her crime. Gotta be a moral in there somewhere.
Coffee out on the patio again today.

Freaky, indeed. Wonder if she chucked them at him until he got knocked out or what 'cause she used quite a variety.
2 years in jail & she died of "natural causes" while waiting for trial?
I really hope she was like 70 yrs old back in 2015... She used more than one can of vegies to beat him to death, sounds like someone with a temper!
Two years locked up & still awaiting trial.
Swift justice or the legal industry? Silly question when locking people up is a trillion dollar industry in the US.
Death by veggies is a novel idea. Wonder if she just chucked them at him or really took them in hand and physically hit him.. Either way she died in jail.
Hey Momlady...
My guess is that she put the cans in something like a pillow case and beat the tar out of him with that. I know it must have hurt.
Thanks for stopping by this morning!
Hey Rob...
Does seem a little strange, doesn't it?
Thanks for coming by this morning!
Hey Linda...
Certainly wasn't an ordinary weapon, but pretty easy to find in the pantry.
Thanks for the visit today!
Self defense? Crazy weapons have to admit.
Patio time it is mornings are really nice these days.
When I saw the title I first thought that someone ate very old cans of spoiled beans. Ahh, but a bag full of those cans used as a club would be much quicker. Yep, he was beaned with the beans.
Hey Jo...
Sounds to me that the self defense was needed by him, not her.
Thanks for dropping by today, dear!
Hey Dizzy...
I think no one had time to open a can, but it sounds like she might have dented one or more.
Thanks for the visit, Dizzy!
