Gay man tries to poison his lesbian neighbors for accusing him of stealing their three-legged cat

Gay man 'tried to poison lesbian neighbours over three-legged cat feud':

Stewart, 37, allegedly put slug pellets into a curry he had offered Marie Walton and Beverley Sales as a peace offering, after the trio had argued for months.

When the women started to eat however, they noticed the pellets and called the police, and Stewart was arrested. He appeared before Manchester magistrates where he admitted attempting to poison the two women last month, but denied a further charge of making threats to kill.

Stewart, from Denton, Manchester, is alleged to have kidnapped the couple's three-legged cat, Amber, leaving her in a village miles away. The cat was eventually found three miles away being cared for by a woman who had taken her in.
