LONDON (Reuters) - A British woman who tried to kill her husband by poisoning his Christmas drink of sparkling fruit wine with anti-freeze was jailed for 15 years on Monday after being undone by a spelling mistake and a trail of text messages.

Following family arguments, Jacqueline Patrick, 55, twice tried to kill her husband Douglas, 70, in October and on Christmas Day 2013, by spiking his cherry Lambrini, a drink favored by teenagers looking to get drunk on a low budget.

"Perhaps most shocking of all was the note she gave to the London Ambulance Service purporting to be from her husband, stating that he did not wish to be resuscitated," said Detective Inspector Tracey Miller, of London's Metropolitan Police, in a statement.

The forged note showed a misspelling of the word dignity as "dignerty". When police later asked her to write the word, Jacqueline Patrick made the same mistake.

The couple's daughter Katherine, 21, was sentenced to three years in jail after admitting to inciting her mother to poison her father, while Jacqueline pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder at the family's south London home.

Douglas Patrick was rushed to hospital fighting for his life, and tests revealed he was suffering from anti-freeze poisoning.

"His wife was informed who then told doctors she thought Mr Patrick may have drunk a blue liquid by mistake. The hospital, finding it strange that she hadn't volunteered this information earlier, called police," said the police statement.

Mother and daughter's mobile phones were seized and revealed a series of incriminating exchanges, including "I got the stuff I will give him some later delete txt tell no one ok", and "He feels sick again I gave him more delete this".

I'm thinking that Doug is a world class douche.

Does no one have any dignerty? What wrong with this world?

Death with dignerty!

She wasn't even close.

Sounds like the entire family is ****ed in the head.

The amazing part is that the bizarre spelling fail is less stupid than five or so other things that she did.

Wow, that's just a disigerant mistake.

I definitely wasn't involved delete post tell no one ok

Doesn't all anti-freeze have ipecac in it now?

Ban anti-freeze. Ban dignerty.

Hrmmm.... Why would a wife AND daughter want you dead?

He probably left the toilet lid up or something.

Well starting Christmas up in October should get you a dose of antifreeze.

He was 15 years older than the wife. My guess is that she gave him a big insurance policy the previous Christmas.

Trollop.

Not that I know of. But I'm in no way a chemist

Idiots LMAO

Is there no integerty anymore?

Sick.

Shouldn't that be 'foyled'?

worse spelling of dogging ive ever seen.

I wonder if she'll get the dearth penalty.

how do you think she paid for it?

A really sweet-tasting limeade stand?

i think this feller, watched it happen on a backgound of ww2

you mean, wrorng

Now we're cakin patna

So is Lambrini like the UK version of MD 20/20?

Well since the article doesn't say the husband died, couldn't they have just asked him what happened?

What a dumb bich.

Maybe he's in a corma.

Yet she spelled resuscitated correctly?
