10 Foolproof Movie Methods For Murdering Your Spouse

4. Lie, Lie, And Then Lie Some More (To Die For, 1995)

When in doubt, remember that you€™re already a murderer. You might as well be a liar too. In To Die For, ambitious wife Suzanne decides that her husband Larry is stifling her career and killing her dreams. He needs to go€ She manipulates a high school student and his friends into doing the deed, claiming that Larry is a violent and abusive spouse. The three kids are implicated in the crime and point the finger at her, wearing a wire to cause her to admit to her part in the murder on tape. The problem is that this constitutes entrapment, and Suzanne€™s lawyer successfully has it omitted from the evidence on the grounds that it€™s inadmissible. Suzanne goes free, and to ensure that no stain remains on her reputation, fabricates a story to the media about Larry being a secret drug dealer, and having been murdered by his peers in the trade. The stage is set for her ambitions to be realised, as she€™s successfully painted herself the victim, and her dead husband as just another culprit. Of course, she€™s not to know that her father-in-law will twig that she€™s lying upon watching her interviewed on the news, or that he€™ll have the mob connections necessary to simply have her killed in her turn. The plan was sound, Suzanne. The plan was sound.
