Man strangles lover's son to hide affair

A man in China strangulated his lover's son to death after the 12-year-old came to know of their extra marital affair.

The man, pretending to be the woman's cousin, stayed at her house in Jiangsu province July 22. But the little boy caught him embracing his mother at night as he stepped out of the bedroom, Shanghai Daily reported.

The exposed man strangled the boy later that night, a media report said.

When other family members found the boy dead in his bedroom next morning, they informed police. The man was arrested from a bus stop.
