Updated: 6:39 p.m. ET April 12, 2005NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A man who secretly lived in a closet at the home of his married girlfriend for a month was charged Tuesday with beating her husband to death after the man discovered him sleeping in the storage area.
Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said Rafael DeJesus Rocha-Perez of Murfreesboro, Tenn., was charged with criminal homicide in the beating death of Jeffrey A. Freeman, 44, and ordered held on $500,000 bail.
"From time to time, you come across a case with very unique ?- even bizarre ?- circumstances," Aaron said. "This one probably rates right up there with them."
Detectives said Martha Freeman allowed Rocha-Perez to live in a closet of her four-bedroom home for about a month without her husband's knowledge.
Jeffrey Freeman discovered Rocha-Perez late Sunday night when he came home and heard him snoring, police said.
Freeman told his wife he was taking a walk and instructed her to get rid of Rocha-Perez before he returned, the Nashville Tennessean reported. Instead, when he returned Rocha-Perez ordered him into a bathroom at gunpoint and beat him about the head, the newspaper said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Snoring, can you beat that?

Not even about the head with a pistol.
This is really sad.
He screws the husband's wife, moves into the husband's home, and when he is discovered, the husband is even civilized about it and gives him time to get out of his house.
So for this, he kills the husband when he comes home.
I don't believe in the death penalty. But if I did, I would not hesitate to use it on Mr. Rocha-Perez.
He's as slimey as they come, all right.
Well, she doesn't seem much of a prize either...
What kind of weirdness is that? Getting upset over being evicted and not having any problems with the husband, except being asked to leave?
What kind of woman would do that to either of these guys? Is she being charged with anything? Bet she tries to collect insurancce now.
Living in a closet for a month?
My lovers were
never in the closet!
I am SO glad you're back, W! <LOL>

Symmetry, rhythm, suspense, and it even
evokes a universal emotional response.
Yes. Definitely a form of modern poetry.
I wonder how many people who read sensational newspapers
realize that they are actually captivated by lyrical poetry,
subliminally rented and sold by the sing-song tragedy and creativity
of our idle killing time.
A haiku for fifty cents
is worth all our demons
to know.
Thanks Eva, good to be back.
