British Woman Stabs Ex-Husband Over Dog Euthanasia

A 64-year-old British woman has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing her ex-husband twice in the chest and abdomen. The incident occurred when the woman visited her ex-husband's home to request money for mediation and learned he had euthanized their dogs. According to the prosecutor, the woman shouted “You killed my dogs” and attacked her ex-husband with a knife. The couple had divorced a year prior, and Keith Bridger had taken care of the dogs but was unable to keep them due to his living arrangements. The defendant told police she “just saw red” and felt that euthanizing the dogs was the only option. Keith Bridger was seriously injured and required medical attention.
