NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Investigators believe a woman lied to police when she told them her husband was killed in a confrontation after he found her lover living in a closet in their home.

Martha Freeman, 41, and Rafael DeJesus Rocha-Perez, 36, are scheduled to go to trial in May for the first-degree murder of Freeman's husband, Jeffrey.

The wife told police Rocha-Perez had been living in a closet in the guest bedroom for a month before her husband heard him snoring and went to investigate. Police reports and autopsy results have since raised questions about her story.
