Payback: Husband beat cheating wife & forced her to cut lover’s head off

THE ARREST

On Wednesday, police were at the Barron residence in Main Street in Jaffrey when they learned that a gold Toyota Tundra belonging to Armando Barron’s stepfather, who lives in an adjoined home, was missing, according to the affidavit.

A vehicle matching that description was seen driving through N.H. State Police Troop F’s territory in the northern part of the state. The vehicle was pursued, and police discovered Armando Barron behind the wheel, with his daughter as a passenger. He was taken into custody and charged with assaulting his wife, and later for capital murder in Amerault’s death.

Britany Barron has been charged with three counts of falsifying evidence, alleging she mutilated and concealed Amerault’s body and attempted to clean his car, according to the affidavit.

Armando Barron pleaded not guilty and was ordered detained at his arraignment Friday in Cheshire County Superior Court.

Britany Barron also pleaded not guilty and was ordered detained, after an impassioned argument from defense attorney Richard Guerriero, who said his client participated in the crime only because she feared for her life.

“This really started with her being beaten severely,” Guerriero said. “If you look at her face right now … she still has the bruising on her face and around her eyes and it’s described in the affidavit. Armando beat her severely and threatened her. He put a gun in her mouth, an obvious threat to kill her.”

Assistant Attorney General Scott Chase argued that by Britany Barron’s own statements, she participated in violent actions, including cutting Amerault’s wrists. He also said there were multiple occasions when she could have sought help, such as when she drove Amerault’s car north alone with a cellphone, for a 3½-hour period, or when she encountered hunters near the camp while Armando Barron was away.

Judge Peter Bornstein ultimately agreed with the state and ordered Britany Barron to be held without bail.

Britany Barron, 31, is charged with three counts of falsifying physical evidence in conjunction with Jonathan Amerault’s murder for allegedly altering, destroying, concealing, or removing items of physical evidence.

Her husband Armando Barron, 30, was arrested on charges of capital murder for knowingly causing the death of Jonathan Amerault by shooting him while engaged in the commission of a kidnapping.

All I can think about is the poor 9-year-old girl…. She’ll never be the same. Women cause so much drama by trying to stay in an abusive relationship and still live their lives. It simply doesn’t work.

Ladies, If you are in an abusive relationship YOU ARE SLEEP. You need to save money and walk away. DO NOT try to deal with it. You are not on this earth to suffer. You are not here to settle for less. Push past the FEAR and let go. Because your kids with suffer for your decisions.
