A desperate husband tried to kill his mother-in-law with an anti-tank missile launcher after claiming she’d turned his wife against him.

Bosnian Miroslav Miljici wanted revenge after blaming his wife’s mum for the break-up of his marriage.

And when his mother-in-law survived the rocket attack on her home, he tried to finish her off with a machine gun, a court in Doboj, Bosnia, was told.

Amazingly, she survived both attacks with barely a scratch, judges heard.

In defence Miljici – jailed for six years for attempted murder – told the court he could no longer take his mother-in-law’s nagging.
