A MAN who found out his wife was having an affair murdered the lover and then forced her to decapitate the body and bury the head in the woods, authorities have claimed.
The gruesome details were contained in the arrest warrant for Armando Barron, 30, and Britany Barron, 31, who are charged over the death of 25-year-old Jonathan Amerault in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Britany allegedly cut Amerault's head off and buried it a remote campsite in the Northwoods, after her husband found out she was having an affair with Amerault.
After discovering the affair, Britany told police Armando beat her, and at one point put a loaded pistol into her mouth.
Armando reportedly used Britany's cell phone on Saturday to lure Amerault to Annette Wayside Park in Rindge, Manchester Ink reported.
At the park, Armando assaulted Amerault and tried to force his wife to shoot him, putting the gun in her hands and wrapping his hand over hers, according to the police affidavit written by New Hampshire State Police Detective Stephen Sloper.
After Armando tried and failed to get Britany to step on Amerault’s neck, he forced her to cut the man's wrists, according to Sloper. Armando then shot Amerault three times.
The affidavit continues to detail that the couple, who have a nine-year-old daughter, drove to the Errol campground, where Britany was forced to cut off Amerault’s head with a saw, and bury it.
Amerault’s body was wrapped in a tarp and buried near a brook, according to Sloper’s affidavit.
Britany reportedly confessed after wildlife conservation officers stumbled across her at the campsite, where her husband had allegedly ordered her to dispose of Amerault’s remains.
The officers found Amerault's headless body nearby after they reported seeing blood run out of the tarp covering Amerault’s headless body.
“I’m in big trouble,” Britany Barron is said to have told the agents, according to The Daily Beast.
Armando, who was arrested in in Coos County, has also been charged for assaulting his wife in connection with the murder investigation, according to an affidavit filed in Cheshire Superior Court.
The couple are both facing charges for their respective roles in Amerault’s killing.
Armando is charged with capital murder for allegedly shooting Amerault while engaged in the commission of a kidnapping, according to the statement released by the Attorney General’s Office.
Britany is charged with three counts of falsifying physical evidence in conjunction with Amerault’s murder for altering, destroying, concealing or removing items of physical evidence when she believed an investigation was pending or about to be instituted with a purpose to impair their verity or availability.
Armando and Britany were ordered held without bail.
