A man, Thomas Atumar, who could not stomach the pain and shame of having another man have sex with his wife, Mary Odey Atumar, has ended it all tragically by shooting his wife and himself dead.

Thomas, an itinerant hunter in the village of Mbube on the outskirts of Ogoja  was very angry when he came back from his hunting expedition in the middle of the night to find his wife in a sex romp with a youth in the village whose name was given as James.

James, P.M NEWS gathered, had escaped through the window when the man came back unexpectedly and met him and his wife having sex in his room.

Efforts by the angry hunter throughout the remaining part of the night to locate and eliminate him with his gun failed and when he returned to his house at dawn, he simply turned the gun on his wife.

He shot her in the stomach which left her entrails gushing out.

“After he shot his wife, he reloaded his gun and aimed at his chest, with the aid of his right toe, he pulled the trigger and killed himself, a source in the village told our reporter.

“He knew the consequences of his action,” our source said.

The man’s anger, our source added, was uncontrollable having warned the woman to stay away from having sex romps with the young man who is said to be younger than her.

“The woman was about 30 years, while her husband was close to 40, and James is just about 22. The man felt terribly insulted that the wife should stoop so low to having sex with a boy that young,” said the source.

After the shooting, the bodies were carted to the Ogoja Police Station and from there to the mortuary of the Ogoja General Hospital.

The arrangement for the burial of both bodies is a task to be carried out by the deceased man’s family since he is the one who “committed the act”

I don't understand the article

Would it have been better if "James" was a bit older?

Guess she had the confession with u?
She did that b/c she was horny, no vibrator or lubricant to avoid explotion and couldn't control it b/c blood flows through here system down to the power house and needed to respect nature. its natural my dear. it happens to both gender but still depends on individual.
GOD SHOULD FORGIVE THEM THEIR SINS N ACCEPT THEIR SOULS. AMEN

why would he still be hunting in the middle of the night leaving his wife alone n not expecting her to get some action, there has got to be a reason why she ended up cheating on him, but he is an idiot prolly burning in hell right now

Why did he have to shoot himself? 

If I were married to you and you cheated on me and gave this as your excuse instead of going down on your knees apologizing profusely and sincerely for your poor judgment,  , let me not say what I'll do to you, but I'll definitely have a sweet laugh 

yes, she behaved very badly indeed. The man should have beaten the crap out of her instead of killing her. A good long beating can go a long way in helping some women. Murder is just too painful for the surviving family.

I agree with you. However, if the man had soundly beaten the adulteress, wouldn't it had been better than taking her life? _{Evil can be ranked!}

Is this not the born-again-christian preaching such foulness?

The point is that either beating or killing would be wrong. 

The couple should have simply dissolved the contractural obligations of their marriage (i.e., divorced).   Had the husband wished to be dead, that's his decision to terminate his own life (though a distressingly selfish one it is).
