The husband of Mary Maloney, Patrick Maloney is a police detective who cares more about his work than his marriage. Despite Mary’s best attempts to make him comfortable and care for him, he does not reciprocate her efforts or feeling. He callously tells Mary that he has decided to abandon his marriage, and is then killed by Mary herself with a frozen leg of lamb. Though the narrator explicitly discusses Mary’s idolization of Patrick and his masculinity, Patrick’s name is not revealed until halfway through the story, after he has already died.
The reason that Mrs. Mary Maloney kills her husband is that she is in a state of shock after his announcement that he is leaving her. If you had told Mary that she was going to kill her husband the day before the event took place, she would have told you that you were quite mad.
