Wife, 78, tasered twice after she stabbed her Alzheimer's suffering husband 17 times when she cracked under the pressure of caring for him

A grandmother was tasered by police after stabbing her husband 17 times when she snapped under the pressure of caring for him, a court heard yesterday.

Florence Thomson, 78, had just moved home with her husband Keith, 79, who has Alzheimer’s disease, when she ‘flipped’ and repeatedly plunged a carving knife into his chest, causing him horrific injuries.

She looked ‘totally deranged’ when her daughter called in by chance after the attack, prosecutors said, and ‘had a wild look in her eyes and was covered in blood’.
