Man Convicted of Trying to Kill Wife in Skydiving Plot
.
Summary:
In order to start a new life with his mistress, Englishman Emile Cilliers pretended to treat his wife Victoria to a skydiving session, rigging her parachute in advance so that it would fail to deploy. His plot was foiled when Victoria, a veteran, reacted fast and managed to survive by landing on a field soft enough to break the fatal fall, and he was found guilty of attempted murder.

Language Enhancement:
Rig (v.)(安裝/做手腳)
Rig 作動詞時有兩個意思,一是把某個部件或裝置「安裝」在一個位置,二是以不正當的手段對某物件或體制「做手腳」。
e.g. Casey was able to rig up a knot for our boat so tight that not even Hercules could rip it apart.
e.g. There’s no way the house can win 10 games in a row! The dice must have been rigged!
