A 71-year-old woman from Florida has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly attempting to kill her husband. The incident reportedly occurred after her husband received a postcard from a woman he dated 60 years ago, USA Today reported. 

The woman was arrested and taken into custody on Monday, and she now faces charges of second-degree attempted murder, aggravated battery, and tampering with a witness. According to the North Miami Beach police, the couple, who have been married for over five decades, got into a heated argument over the postcard. The suspect allegedly tried to smother her husband with a pillow and admitted to urinating on him.

According to detectives the victim was

“extremely fragile”

after the attack and had

“several serious bruises and open lacerations”

and

“open bite marks that were bleeding,”

the judge said.

The 71-year-old woman has been charged with tampering with a witness after reportedly taking the witness’s cell phone from him during the time of the attack. The woman is currently in jail without bond and is scheduled to appear in court for another hearing on Thursday. 

The judge has ordered that if bail is granted, she is not to have any contact with her husband.
