VOLOGDA, Russia -- Russian authorities were Friday probing the freak death of a woman killed by a homemade missile launched by her husband.
The victim was looking on as her aviation-enthusiast spouse assembled his makeshift rocket in a field, RIA Novosti reported.
But the launch when horribly wrong when the missile blasted off and veered toward her, striking the woman in the head.
Authorities in Vologda, northwest Russia, said the wife was rushed to the hospital but died soon after the accident, which happened earlier this month.
"During the launch, the model rocket veered off course and hit his wife in the head. The woman died in the hospital," investigators said Friday.
The 42-year-old husband, who works for an aviation company, could face up to two years in prison for manslaughter, the state-owned Russian news agency said.
Looks like his new homemade guidance system worked as designed. 😉
Like the woman who committed suicide by shooting herself in the head with a bolt action rifle TWICE...
Wow, loading the second took some serious determination! 😯
There was a case in Australia of a man who committed suicide by shotgun and it took three shots. He also died about 150 yards from where he inflicted the first wound - walked between the points.

Not as bad as the guy in Arkansas. He was shot in the back 27 times and was ruled the worst case of suicide.
