A North Carolina husband confessed on social media to killing his wife and planning to kill himself after catching his wife cheating.
George Lesniak, 63, wrote on a Facebook page that he was the sole administrator that he killed his wife, Cathleen Lesniak, 59, on Saturday evening.
“My wife admitted she was cheating on me, so I killed her. I'm about to commit suicide,” he wrote in a now-deleted post on the ADAS Support group around 6 p.m., according to the NC Beat.

Within three minutes of the post going live, Fuquay-Varina police were dispatched to Lesniak's home in response to reports of a shooting.
