The Courier Post reports:

• "A former [Lumberton, New Jersey] woman was charged [last week] with attempted murder for allegedly trying to poison her husband by putting antifreeze in his juice and cyanide in his food. Karen L. Tubertini, 46, who recently moved to Cherry Hill, was arrested Monday and charged with the attempted murder of Ronald Tubertini, 49, a retired Lumberton policeman. [... T]he wife admitted to a county detective she tried to poison her husband to "punish him" for her problems, according to a court document. She said she was distraught and overwhelmed by the stress of household financial troubles, managing the local family business -- Arylin Construction Co. -- and dealing with her three children. [...] Both the Lumberton home and a farm the couple owns in Monroe, Pa., are both in foreclosure proceedings, county authorities said."
