Man Living in Closet Charged With Murder
By COLIN FLY, AP
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 12) - A man was beaten to death after catching his wife's lover living in a closet in their home, police said Tuesday. Rafael DeJesus Rocha-Perez, 35, was charged with homicide in the slaying of 44-year-old Jeffrey A. Freeman over the weekend.
"From time to time, you come across a case with very unique - even bizarre - circumstances," police spokesman Don Aaron said. "This one probably rates right up there with them."
Freeman's wife had allowed Rocha-Perez to live in a closet of the Freemans' four-bedroom home for about a month without her husband's knowledge, police said. On Sunday, her husband heard Rocha-Perez snoring
and discovered him, authorities said.
Freeman ordered his wife to get the man out of the house while he went for a walk, authorities said. Martha Freeman told authorities that when her husband returned, Rocha-Perez confronted him with a shotgun, forced him into a bathroom and bludgeoned him.
The Freemans were co-owners of a company that does background checks for apartment rental and job applicants.

shit
....I can't say I blame the husband for feelings so angry but he shouldn't have beaten him no matter what....I can't believe the wife didn't let her husband know that he was living there in the closet...I don't think I ever heard of a case like this one before, very strange
