According to reports, a New Hampshire man allegedly killed his wife's lover and forced her to behead him after learning about the affair. Armando Barron, 30, was arrested and charged in connection with the death of 25-year-old Jonathan Amerault, whose body was discovered in the woods on Sept. 22. Barron was charged for “knowingly causing the death of Jonathan Amerault by shooting him while engaged in the commission of a kidnapping,” according to a press release from Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald and New Hampshire State Police Colonel Nathan A. Noyes.
In addition, Barron was charged with domestic violence, strangling and threatening to use a deadly weapon “for the purpose of placing his wife, Britany Barron, in fear of imminent bodily injury.” Britany was also arrested and charged with three counts of falsifying physical evidence.
Authorities say that Barron learned about the affair after going through Britany's phone on Sept. 19. An arrest affidavit states that Barron, enraged, beat Britany and stuck a gun in her mouth and strangled her on their bed. He then used his wife's phone to text Amerault to lure him into a trap. Barron beat Amerault and demanded his wife shoot her lover. After refusing to shoot her lover, Armando fatally shot the man three times. He then forced his wife to decapitate her lover.
On Friday, each pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them. They are currently being held without bail.
