A New Hampshire man who caught his wife having an affair with a co-worker forced her to cut his head off, police have claimed. Armando Barron, 30, is accused of murdering 25-year-old Jonathan Amerault, while Britany Barron, 31, is charged with falsifying evidence, including mutilating and disposing of her lover's body.

According to the police affidavit, Britany told investigators her husband discovered the affair on Saturday September 19 after going through her phone; flying into a rage he beat and choked her, leaving her with two black eyes, and put a gun in her mouth, all of which was witnessed by their nine-year-old daughter. Police said he then texted Amerault from his wife's phone, luring him to Annett State Park in Rindge where he ambushed him, viciously beating him. He ordered his wife to kill her lover, but she "would not place her finger on the trigger," the affidavit says, per the Sentinel Source. "When she did not shoot him, Armando removed the gun from her hand." He then ordered Amerault into his own car at gunpoint, and ordered his wife to slit his wrists, which she did, according to the affidavit. She said her husband then turned around and shot him three times; twice in the chest, once in the head.

They stopped en route so he could buy tarps, lighter fluid, household cleaner and a shovel at a general store. Upon reaching the woods, they set up camp. According to Sgt. Stephen Sloper of N.H. State Police, Armando then ordered his wife to behead the corpse, so it could not be identified by dental records; they buried the head before wrapping the body in a tarp, intending to bury it elsewhere.
