A man killed his wife by throwing a television remote control at her head, a court heard yesterday.By a "fluke" chance, Gloria Laguna, 48, was hit on a weak artery near her neck, the Old Bailey was told.
Paul Harvey, 46, tried to give her the kiss of life, but she died from a massive brain haemorrhage.
The couple had been arguing when Harvey lost his temper with his wife, a former US diplomat in India.
Jonathan Goldberg QC, defending, said: "All he did was throw the remote control in her direction.
"By a fluke chance, maybe the same as, in a different context, winning the lottery, it landed on the exact spot where she had a weakness."
But Judge Giles Forrester called his actions "irresponsible and dangerous". Harvey, of Euston, Central London, pleaded guilty to manslaughter. He was jailed for three years.
WTF? This motherfucker got 3 years in jail! 3 years. I think we gonna see all the gangsters rolling with TV remotes now, since you only get 3 years for killing someone with a TV remote. TV remote drive by FTW?
