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

They say women never get caught cheating because they’re smart. But cheat with the wrong woman, and you may suffer the wrath of her husband finding out.

New Hampshire – on Tuesday, September 22, 2020 the body of Jonathan Amerault, 25, was found. The medical examiner found the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head and ruled the death a homicide.

The story of how Jonathan’s body was found and why he was killed is absolutely bizarre.

On Saturday, September 19, Armado Barron, 30, flew into a rage, after going through his wife’s phone and finding out she was having an affair with a co-worker.

Mr. Barron then used his wife’s cellphone to lure Jonathan to Annett State Park, where, Mr. Barron ordered Jonathan into his car, and then ordered his wife to cut Jonathan’s wrists and shoot him.

Britany Barron told police she cut this wrists, but refused to shoot him.

She said her husband fired three shots, two of which struck Amerault in the chest, one in the head.

She said Armando Barron ordered her to drive Amerault’s car with his body inside to an area where the Barrons had frequently camped. She said Armando ordered her to remove Amerault’s head so he could not be identified via dental records, according to the affidavit. She said she did, and the head was buried separately.

Amerault was reported missing Monday morning after he did not show up to work, State Police said. Amerault and Britany Barron reportedly worked together at a medical supply company.

Britany Barron told investigators that her husband assaulted her, leaving her with a pair of black eyes and injuries to her nose, on the night of the murder, the Sentinel reports.

She told investigators that while still in their home, her husband put a gun in her mouth and attempted to strangle her in front of the couple’s 9-year-old daughter.

After her husband shot Amerault, Britany Barron said, he ordered her to drive Amerault’s car, with his body inside, north toward Errol, to an area where the Barrons had frequently camped, Sloper wrote. Armando Barron followed behind in his own vehicle, a Jeep Patriot, according to the affidavit.

Once in Errol, Britany Barron told police, her husband stopped at a general store and purchased tarps, lighter fluid, household cleaner and a shovel. Then after traveling into the woods and making camp, Britany Barron said Armando ordered her to remove Amerault’s head so he could not be identified via dental records, according to the affidavit. She said she did so, and it was buried separately, Sloper wrote.

At some point, Britany Barron said she saw her husband burn several items from inside Amerault’s car, including his identification, which was later found at the burn site, according to the affidavit.

She told police she was ordered to wrap Amerault’s body in a tarp and dig another grave, and said her husband intended to bring Amerault’s phone back to Keene to send out text messages saying that he was all right, according to the affidavit. Instead, after getting word that police were looking for his wife, the plan changed, Sloper wrote.

“Armando Barron ordered Britany to come with him to an area where there was cell phone service,” the affidavit says. “Shortly thereafter, Armando stopped the car and smashed Jonathan’s phone on a rock. Armando gave part of the smashed phone to Britany.” They threw the separate parts of the phone out of the vehicle from both sides somewhere north of Errol, according to the affidavit.

Britany Barron said her husband then ordered her to send text messages to tell people that she was all right, but would be “leaving for a while to clear her head.” Investigators spoke to a friend of hers, who showed them messages Britany Barron sent between 11 a.m. Sunday and 4 p.m. Monday saying that she would be moving to New Mexico, where her sister lives, to get a fresh start, according to the affidavit.

This story gets even stranger.
