In the early morning hours of March 29th, the man from Lyngby took a frozen litre of milk out of the freezer, put it in a pillowcase and went in to his sleeping wife.
He laid a sheet over her and then struck her on the head with the milk-laden pillowcase several times. His wife screamed and woke up the couple’s two sleeping boys. As the boys tried to get in to their parents’ bedroom, the wife managed to fight off her husband’s attacks and escape.
While in court on Monday the man claimed to have no recollection of the incident, which he said happened while he was sleepwalking. The judge and 12-person jury disagreed with that line of defence and he was sentenced to six years in prison for attempted murder.

Yay, the courts did the right thing. What would have happened after he killed his wife, would he have then killed his kids.
