Crazed man killed wife over affair with teen
A crazed husband in the UK murdered his wife after discovering she was having an affair with a teenager before killing himself, an inquest heard Friday.
Barry Harrison, 47, and his wife Amanda, 34, were found dead inside their home with their children nearby on August 9 last year.
Amanda suffered neck injuries and is believed to have been strangled with a piece of washing line found by her body and Barry was found hanging.
Their two sons, Owen, aged three, and Aiden, five, were found by Pat Cannon, who works as a manager for the block of flats and who had been asked by her sister, Maureen Cannon, to visit the apartment.

The boys told her that "Mummy and Daddy are asleep".
The inquest heard that the children had been in the flat in Regal Court, High Street, Shanklin, Isle of Wight, with their dead parents for at least 24 hours.
The hearing at Newport Coroner’s Court was told that the couple, who met while working at the Peugeot car plant in Coventry, Warwickshire, had moved to the Isle of Wight after they were made redundant and had their home in Bedworth repossessed.
They both suffered from depression brought on by their financial difficulties, the inquest heard.
The hearing was told they had both found work on the Island, Barry as a fruit picker on a tomato farm and his wife as a sales supervisor at a Co-op store in Bembridge.
Maureen Cannon, who had known the couple from when she lived in Coventry but who had lived on the Island since 2003, said that Amanda had told her that she had started an affair with a 19-year-old customer at her shop called Alex Harmer-Wood.
