Man says wife was “Spending too Much Time on Facebook”, so he killed her

facebook logoThis is one of the most odd stories I’ve ever heard of. The Telegraph reported that Brian Lewis strangled his spouse Hayley Jones to death at their home for one reason – she was spending too much time on the world’s most popular social networking website. During the wee hours of March 12 this year, the man drove immediately to the police station, leaving the kids behind at their home to find their mother’s body in the living room. It was known that the main reason was due to financial problems that results in a sour relationship between the two. At the same time, Hayley started to expand her social horizons by spending a larger amount of her time on the social networking giant.

She had been quite secretive and Brain began smelling the rat. Whenever Brian was around, she would switch the computer off to prevent him from seeing any of the content. This had resulted in him getting more anxious and suspicious. The relationship deteriorated to such an extent that she changed her Facebook status to “single” on March 2 of this year, just over a week before her tragic death.

The jury later heard Brian Lewis told police officers during an interview after his partner had died that he had accepted the breakdown of their relationship and their ”only real tension” was over the time she spent on the Internet.
