A US court convicted a man of murdering his wife by poisoning with ethylene glycol (MEG) anti-freeze, according to this gruesome article which my colleague Nel found today on CNN.com/crime. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. The case was clinched when a computer expert testified that two days before his wife entered hospital for the first time, the murderer's computer showed he did a search using the words "ethylene glycol death human."

Nasty! Do you think this will affect demand for MEG in the US??
It's not the first time that glycol has made its way to the news - remember all those stories about di-ethylene glycol in toothpaste?
