The crown alleges she killed him after a row, which was overheard by neighbours. But at Winchester crown court yesterday, Mrs West used a wooden replica of a shotgun to show jurors how the weapon had "accidentally" gone off while she danced to the Shania Twain song, Man! I Feel Like a Woman.
Mrs West told the court that she and her husband, whom she had married nine weeks earlier, had both been drunk, and she had been trying to sexually arouse him. She said she put the song on, picked up the shotgun, and began dancing.
Grabbing hold of the wooden replica, Mrs West explained that she banged the gun on the floor at the end of the song so as to "take a bow", but the weapon went off, killing her husband.
Ah, that's where my erotic technique has been in error - a distinct lack of gunplay. From my cold dead hands, etc. etc.
