The wife of a New Hampshire man accused of killing her co-worker and then forcing her to behead him testified that she did not shoot her co-worker, but that it was her husband who pulled the trigger, and that both she and the victim were assaulted by her husband in the hours before the killing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Armando Barron, 32, now on trial for murder,\u00a0suspected his wife,\u00a0Britany Barron, was having an affair with her 25-year-old co-worker Jonathan Amerault, who was nicknamed \u201cAbercrombie\u201d because of his good looks, officials said.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors said Armando Barron beat his wife after he found text messages that she had exchanged with Amerault in September 2020.<\/p>\n
“Don’t do anything stupid or the girls are going to walk into something (expletive) gruesome,” Britany testified he said to her as they left their home.\u00a0He sent the couple’s three children\u00a0to their grandmother’s home next door, she said.<\/p>\n
She said they then went to\u00a0a New Hampshire state park, Armando Barron reading the texts she and Amerault had sent each other aloud on the way there. After finishing each text, Armando Barron would hit her, she testified.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Armando Barron then allegedly used his wife’s phone to lure Amerault to the park.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Amerault arrived, Armando allegedly beat and kicked him and forced his wife to stand on his neck and slit his wrists, prosecutors said. He also tried forcing his wife to shoot Amerault, but she refused, prosecutors said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eventually, Armando\u00a0Barron forced Amerault into the back of his own car and after some time, Armando\u00a0Barron got into the car and shot Amerault three times, Britany testified. After forcing Britany to drive Amerault’s car back to their own home to get supplies and then to a remote campsite about 200 miles north, Armando Barron then made his wife cut off Amerault’s head, she testified.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He forced her to bury the head and wrap the body in a tarp, and then left her to dispose of the body on her own, Britany testified.<\/p>\n
She testified that her husband wanted the victim decapitated so authorities would be unable to use dental records to identify his body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
