Something on the side?

Love Cheat Martin Forshaw Jailed for Murder

We’ve seen over recent weeks how having an affair can be dangerous to the person having the affair, as well as their spouses and lovers. Yet another tale reaches us today of a copper who murdered his fiancee 5 days before their wedding in order to hide his cheating lifestyle.

Unusually, in the adultery stories we cover, Forshaw took his secret cheating life very seriously – and genuinely seemed to not know where his future lie. In fact, so long and serious was his affair that his lover had a 5 year old child by him

Something inside him snapped as his wedding day approached and he decided the best way to settle the issue was a quick game of eeny-meeny-miny-mo then down to the toolshed for a murder weapon.

Trying to hide the crime, he staged a horrific attack on her with the intention of passing it off as a motoring accident. When he arrived at the planned scene of the “accident” he discovered that she was still alive and finished the job with a further rain of hammer blows.

As the judge pointed out:

“You may have been panicking but you were also cowardly.  Instead of doing what you should have done and calling the emergency services when she was still alive, you put her in the car. Then, seeing her so injured you finished her off.”

People say that divorce is bad, but seriously compared to a life sentence for murder it’s a walk in the park. So next time you’re thinking about cheating, maybe keep the phone number of a solicitor somewhere closer to hand than a potential murder weapon.
