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 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.
