..ummmm, maybe attempted murder was easier than seeing a divorce lawyer? I dunno.
An Oshawa man stands accused in a disturbing case of domestic abuse involving an alleged attempted electrocution.
The suspect's wife called police just after midnight on Monday claiming her husband had choked her, nearly to the point of unconsciousness, after she allegedly discovered her shower had been rigged to electrocute her.
The victim received a number of electrical shocks while she adjusted the taps in the tub, according to police, and noticed a panel of drywall was missing and that wires were attached to the plumbing. When she confronted her husband - an electrician - he allegedly attacked her and then took off.
Officers tracked down the suspect's vehicle on Highway 401, but he refused to pull over and took off at speeds over 170 kilometres per hour, according to authorities.
Cops later nabbed him in Port Hope.
The 60-year-old man is charged with aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm, mischief endangering life and failing to stop for police.
His name hasn't been released.
