Mary was taking the lamb leg to make dinner and seemed to make a last second decision to go to the living room and club her husband.

At that point, Mary Maloney simply walked up behind him and without any pause
she swung the big frozen leg of lamb high in the air and brought it down as hard as she
could on the back of his head.
