NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- 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 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.
