Domestic Violence Call too late to save a Spider
2015-11-27
Officers in Sydney went to the address after numerous calls were made claiming a woman could be heard screaming hysterically and a man yelling "I'm going to kill you, you're dead. Die! Die!"

Police: We had a report of a domestic and a women screaming, where is she?

Male: I don't know what you're talking about, I live alone.

Police: Come on mate, people clearly heard you yelling you were going to kill her and furniture getting thrown around the unit.

Police: Come on mate, what have you done to her?

Male: It was a spider.

Police: Sorry??

Male: It was a spider, a really big one!!
I looked for a tarantula photo, to no avail.
Police: What about the woman screaming?

Male: Yeah sorry that was me, I really, really hate spiders.
Or Indiana Jones, with all the spiders on his back.
The police report concluded: "After a very long pause, some laughter and a quick look in the unit to make sure there was no injured party (apart from the spider) we left."

#2  ditto EC, spent 3 months down under and if there's a deadly crawling, swimming, slithering or flying beastie they've got the biggest and baddest.

And, oh yeah, Platypuses are poisonous too!!!!

#1  Don't blame him a bit. Considering that Sydney is the home range of the Funnel Web and Red Backed spiders as well as few other beasties.

I'd scream like a Sheila too matey! S'truth!
