A North Carolina husband confessed to killing his wife and his plans to take his own life on social media after he caught his wife cheating.
George Lesniak, 63, wrote on a Facebook page he was the sole administrator of that he had killed his wife, Cathleen Lesniak, 59, on Saturday night.
‘My wife admitted to cheating on me, so I killed her. I’m about to kill myself,’ he wrote in a now-deleted post on the ADAS Support group at around 6pm, according to the NC Beat.
‘Figure this group out for yourselves.’
Within three minutes of the post going live, Fuquay-Varina police were dispatched to Lesniak’s home in response to reports of a shooting.
