Understatement of the Week
"From time to time, you come across a case with very unique — even bizarre — circumstances," Aaron said. "This one probably rates right up there with them."
This was said by a Nashville Police spokesman regarding that case where a woman kept her lover in the closet as a way to keep the relationship a secret from her husband. And when I say "in the closet" that is not a euphemism. He was living in her and her husband's home, in the closet, next to the spare coathangers and other closet detritus. He lived there for a month!
Apparently, living in a closet can push one to the edge. This story ended in violence.
Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said Rafael DeJesus Rocha-Perez of
Murfreesboro, Tenn., was charged with criminal homicide in the beating death of
Jeffrey A. Freeman, 44, and ordered held on $500,000 bail....
Jeffrey Freeman discovered Rocha-Perez late Sunday night when he came home and heard him snoring, police said.
Freeman told his wife he was taking a walk and instructed her to get rid of Rocha-Perez before he returned, the Nashville Tennessean reported. Instead, when he returned Rocha-Perez ordered him into a bathroom at gunpoint and beat him about the head, the newspaper said.
Am I the only one flabbergasted by this story?
