3:28pm Friday 9th May 2008
A CAREER conwoman who poisoned her husband with rat killer and anti-depressants was given an indeterminate prison sentence today.
Heather Mook, 58, tricked her husband John into taking the tablets and rat poison in an attempt to confuse him while she fleeced his mother of £43,000.
Judge James Spencer QC, sitting at York Crown Court, told Mook she was being given an indeterminate sentence to protect the public and she would be considered for parole only after she had served five years.
