Couple charged with wedding night murder

[Chris]

A pair of British newlyweds are accused of murder after a violent confrontation that occurred after the bride slept with another man on her wedding night.

Ms Shobrook, 39, had allegedly walked out on her 40-year-old husband just hours after the service because she believed he was not paying her enough attention. He had left the reception to pick up his welfare from a nearby unemployment centre.

The couple then had an argument at home that resulted in Ms Shobrook setting fire to Mr Johnson's bed and then allegedly running into the arms of Mr Auchterlonie.

But the following morning she phoned her husband and claimed his 45-year-old Auchterlonie tried to rape her, the court heard.

Ms Shobrook then allegedly let Mr Johnson into his love rival's flat where he savagely beat the father of four with an oar and a glass.

Both newlyweds reportedly took part in the beating that left the Plymouth man with 38 separate injuries.

He was left lying in a pool of his own blood and was not seen again until his dead body was discovered three days later.

She should have been more understanding....it wasn't going to be much of a honeymoon without that welfare check.

My wedding night wasn't anything like theirs......and I'm glad.
