According to media reports Monday, an HIV-positive man was convicted in Auckland, New Zealand, of twice injecting his sleeping wife with his infected blood.
The Daily Express reports that the 35-year-old man pricked his 33-year-old wife with a needle contaminated with his HIV positive blood.
Court documents detail how the woman once caught the man handling a syringe with his blood.
She described how in May last year she discovered a sting-like mark on her left thigh and two days later she awoke to a stinging feeling in her leg.
She said, “I got up… and I flicked the blankets… I looked at (the husband) and he was wide awake.”
The wife asked him if he had pricked her and he said: ‘No’.
During a routine checkup, the woman found out she was infected with HIV.
The man found out in 2004 that he had HIV, but the couple agreed they would stay tegether for their children.
“All he said (was) he was sorry. He said: ‘I used needles on you because I wanted you to be the same as me so that you can live with me and you won’t leave me’,” she said.
The husband has admitted willfully infecting another with a disease and faces up to 14 years in jail when he is sentenced at Auckland High Court next year.
New Zealand Man Injects Wife With HIV Twice
Children – are you going to inject them also – so they will not be left as orphans when both the man and his wife are gone? Sorry scum of a man, I hope he has a short miserable life!
Do you plan on infecting your all your friends to so they won’t leave you either! Your a very sick man in need of counseling.
This man should be tried for murder. Put to death if the jury thinks so but this crime deserves capital punishment.
Hopefully the wife will leave and take her kids. No telling what the husband is capable of now. I couldn’t imagine hurting someone like that. To intentionally give someone…anyone…something that is going to kill them slowly over many years…that’s just plain evil and cruel. I hope he lives a long and miserable life “by himself”.
Long life “by himself” and in jail forever.
Awful. Just plain Awful.
that’s why i am for death penalty. Motherfucker.
