The article says it was "revenge", but never states what it was revenge FOR.

I think they had an argument that she was just not happy over the outcome. It was a premeditative attack, as most people would have stopped at the boiling water stage.

The linked Cheshire article states:

"The day before the attack took place, Smith, aged 59, was described as angry and very upset at a rumour circulating about her husband that she believed to be true".

Thats just the exact same page linked to in the original post -that I already read- that still leaves out the answer to my question.

The article suggests she did this because of a rumor she believed to be true of him.

"The day before the attack took place, Smith, aged 59, was described as angry and very upset at a rumour circulating about her husband that she believed to be true".

I saw that. What was the rumor? That he cheated on her? That he rooted against Manchester Union?

I guess we strangers are not supposed to ever know.
