p2pnet news view | Crime:- A a 28-year-old man in Sweden who attacked his wife’s lover after her infidelity was revealed on Facebook has been convicted of aggravated assault.

His weapon of choice?

A screw-driver.

Things came to a head after his mother, “saw a detailed account on her daughter-in-law’s Facebook page in which she admitted being unfaithful,” says The Local, going on:

The mother then informed her son, who became so enraged that he drank himself into a stupor and headed over to his rival’s apartment in Malmö in southern Sweden.

When his wife’s lover refused to open the door, the alcohol-emboldened man smashed down the door and stabbed his rival 20 to 30 times with a screwdriver.

The 28-year-old then tried to push the other man through a window before fleeing the scene, leaving the screwdriver stuck in his wife’s lover’s back.

The attacker was sentenced to a year in prison and ordered to pay 42,000 kronor ($6,000) to the victim, says the story.
