During the trial in absentia, marked by the absence of the wife, the Court ordered the arrest of the lover, a vegetable merchant, who was on provisional release, reports Hibapress.
Two weeks ago, the husband, suspecting his wife of infidelity, had set a trap for her by making her believe that he was leaving on a business trip.
The two lovers had then been caught in the act of adultery at the couple’s home. The incident quickly turned into a brawl before the police intervened to take the unfaithful couple to the police station.
