Cop catches wife with alleged paramour

CEBU, Philippines - A policeman caught his own wife allegedly sleeping with another man in their house in Villa Lucilla Subdivision, Liloan town during an operation the cop himself initiated last Thursday night.

Liloan Police Station chief Ramil Morpos said the husband passed by the police station around 10 p.m. last Thursday and asked for assistance because he learned that his wife was there with her alleged paramour.

The wife and the alleged paramour are teachers in different public schools.  Morpos said the husband knew about his wife’s alleged activities from his younger brother who is looking after the house in Villa Lucilla.

The couple bought the house in 2013 but the wife and their two children reportedly left in 2014 because the couple had quarreled constantly. Because the husband is assigned in Mandaue City, he and their two other children chose to live there with his parents, leaving the house to his brother to look after.

Two weeks ago, however, the brother was surprised why the house was lit and it was reportedly the subdivision’s security guard who told him the wife and her male co-teacher had been living there reportedly for almost two weeks.

Almost midnight last Thursday, the husband proceeded to the house and found his wife sleeping in the master’s bedroom with the man.

The husband reportedly knew about the alleged affair since 2008 when his wife and the alleged paramour were teaching in a private school in Lapu-Lapu City.

The two are facing adultery charges and Morpos said their mobile phones are now under police custody and will be checked if evidence such as text and photos can be retrieved from there to support the case. — Flor Z. Perolina/JMO (FREEMAN)
