London: The wife of a doctor landed herself in trouble after mistakenly sending to her hubby a text message which she meant for her lover, Daily Mail reported.
The doctor threatened to kill his estranged wife after she accidentally sent him a text message intended for her lover, a British court heard.
Nurse Victoria Stacey wrote a message for a family friend with whom she was having an affair, which read: "How about another weekend in the Marriott Hotel in Birmingham?"
The court heard that because she was unfamiliar with her new mobile phone, she accidentally sent it to her husband Simon Stacey, 39, instead of her lover.
Stacey, mother of two children, said that after her husband received the text message, he called her to say "he was going to come down and kill me at work".
She admitted to the affair with a friend's husband while giving evidence during the trial for assault at Bolton Crown Court.
"I sent that message in error because I had just got a new mobile phone," she told the court while adding that she had embarked on the affair after her husband moved out of the family home.
She also claimed to have allegedly suffered years of abuse by her husband.
The doctor has denied one count of assault causing actual bodily harm after allegedly beating his wife with a shoe, leaving her in fear for her life.
The jury heard the assault was just one of many incidents of violence during the couple's turbulent marriage.
