An Edmonton nurse tried to harm her husband by setting out a trap of cooking oil and exposed syringes before stabbing him in the neck with an insulin-loaded needle.
Luisa Amelia Hernandez, 45, pleaded guilty Friday in Provincial Court to one count of assault with a weapon and a rarely seen criminal charge of laying a trap with intent to cause bodily harm to a person.
Crown prosecutor Rob Fata told court that Hernandez and Glinny Kazimierz, 57, had been living together in a common-law relationship for eight months after having dated for four years and, on Oct. 14, Kazimierz served Hernandez with a 30-day eviction notice.
The licensed practical nurse than asked Hernandez for a $10,000 loan so she could buy a new home, but he refused.
The next evening, Kazimierz returned to his south-side home about 7 p.m. and slipped and nearly fell in the dark entrance way, saving himself by grabbing onto the front door handle, court heard.
Kazimierz then discovered a trail of cooking oil on the floor and a medical supplies kit with several uncapped syringes containing a clear liquid near it, said Fata.
?Had he fallen, he likely would have landed onto the syringes and been pricked by the uncapped and exposed needles,? said Fata.
Hernandez then confronted Kazimierz and again asked him for money to buy a new home, but he refused and walked past her into the kitchen, court heard.
At that point, Hernandez approached him holding two insulin-filled syringes and stabbed him in the back of the neck with one of them, said Fata.
Hernandez then told Kazimierz that she had injected him with insulin and the Hepatitis C virus, said Fata.
Kazimierz said he was going to call the police and there was a struggle between them to get the phone. He then pushed her behind a door to the basement and locked it.
Hernandez smashed the door with a metal carpenter?s level and was able to unlock the door, said Fata.
But she then told Kazimierz to eat some peanut butter to bring up his blood sugar level as he was not diabetic.
Court heard police arrived and found Kazimierz eating peanut butter from a jar with blood on his neck.
He was taken to Grey Nuns Hospital and kept overnight for observation as a precaution.
Hernandez was arrested at the home without incident and gave a statement saying that each syringe was filled with five cubic centimetres of insulin.
Court heard Kazimierz was not infected with Hepatitis C.
Defence lawyer Rory Ziv told court the incident likely happened as a result of Hernandez suffering from a mood or anxiety disorder and said she had stopped taking her prescribed medication two or three days earlier.
A psychiatric assessment was ordered by the judge and a sentencing hearing is slated for Oct. 16.
Court heard the couple is no longer together.
