So the guy lives in the closet of the man he's cuckolding, then apparently kills him when he's discovered. This guy is well on his way to breaking all the ten commandments in one fell swoop.
This is a local news story for me--and even in Tennessee it counts as weird.
To add to the fun, the husband and wife were private investigators, whose business did background checks on job applicants and others. The, um, alleged killer has been a professional boxer.
Oh, and the wife waited about fifteen hours to call 911, although she knew her husband had been severely injured (at the very least).
Needless to say, we await further details with great interest.
Dangerous housewives, indeed.

I guess she wanted to have all the modern conveniences.

I guess it makes sense with modern beds being so low to the ground and everything.
You know those "childish" fears of a monster in the closet?
Uh huh.
LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE!

Kotsko, to get all ten commandments, doesn't the guy have to be his father? That's too kinky.

He just has to dishonor his father or mother, not kill or cuckold either of them.
And surely killing the man you're cuckolding after living in his wife's closet for a month brought dishonor to his family.

Does the story specify if the crime took place on a Saturday? Surely murder counts as "work" for purposes of sabbath-keeping.

It ain't keeping it holy, I can tell you that.

It happened over the weekend, right? So it was either Saturday or Sunday. You call it Sabbath, I call it Shabbat.

Sure, but what graven images?

And it's going to be really hard to work ox-coveting into this.

You're missing the point -- it's funnier if you don't.
