Australian woman says frog's croaking killed husband

A New South Wales women who claims a frog in her neighbour's pond caused her husband's death fears she may be next.

Giselle Bertozza believes her 72-year-old husband was driven to an early grave from the stress caused by years of sleepless nights.

The Mannering Park woman says she and her late husband were driven mad by the frog's croaking just metres from their bedroom window.

Mrs Bertozza claims the sleep deprivation ultimately ruined his health and he later died of cancer.

Last week, after a few years of uneasy peace, another frog has lobbed up in the pond next door.

Mrs Bertozza said she felt like the "torture had started again" reliving the nightmare they endured by the tock, tock, tock of an amorous frog's calls for a mate. "It's like a tap dripping except you can't turn it off," she said.
