Furious husband ‘heard wife romping with another man via a baby monitor’
A FURIOUS husband heard his wife romping with another man via a baby monitor linked to his phone, a court heard.
Marek Fecko’s missus turned the gizmo towards the wall in their bedroom because it recorded images — but left the sound on.
He raced home from work to confront the lovers, running after the man — a former colleague — with a knife, yelling: “I’ll kill you.”
Fecko, 47, knew of the affair from messages on his wife’s phone but was waiting to catch her in the act.
Tim Evans, prosecuting, said: “The goings on in the marital bedroom were broadcast to Mr Fecko’s phone.”
Judith McCullough, defending, said Fecko’s was “a very human reaction” to a “significant provocation”.
Judge Nicholas Barker told him: “You would be upset and angry at this act of infidelity. After all, you had been married for 11 years and had a family.”
Fecko, of Maryport, Cumbria, admitted affray and possessing a knife.
He was sentenced to an 18-month community order and 120 hours of unpaid work at Carlisle crown court.
