===============================================
London: An Indian-origin man in Britain laced his wifes food with steroids in a bid to transform her into a fat, stay-at-home mother, a court has heard.
Dalwara Singh slipped the drugs into his wifes dinner, causing her to develop facial hair. Victim Jaspreet Singh Gill sprouted hair on her chin, cheeks and back because Dalwara Singh was lacing her food and drink with the drugs, Leicester Crown Court heard. The mother of two also developed spotty, constantly itchy skin and some scalp hair fell out, but her husband of 17 years told her not to go to the doctor. When she complained that the food he suddenly starting preparing for her tasted bitter, because of the steroids, Mr. Singh made her eat it out of guilt, saying he had made it especially for her.
Their teenage daughter told her mother she heard her father grinding a pestle and mortar in the bedroom. He was caught out when their teenage daughter heard him grinding something in the bedroom . His wife then discovered the drugs hidden in a locked cupboard and called in the police, The Sun Reported.
The couple had been married for 17 years and had a son and daughter aged 15 and 16.
The prosecutor told the court that Singh gave his wife the drugs to keep her at home.
He wanted to stop her from going out on walks, because he wanted her to be home to cook for him and look after the children. He said he didnt consider the side effects and intended to stop , the court was told.
Singh admitted administering a noxious substance with the intent to injure , aggrieve or anny at Leicester Crown Court.
He narrowly escaped jail and was instead handed a 12 month prison sentence suspended for two years. He was also handed a restraining order banning any contact with his now-estranged wife other than through the solicitors or social services.
