A husband has been arrested in connection with the death of his wife whose body is believed to have been left hanging in their house for the past eight weeks.

Detectives are quizzing the man in his 50s after he called officers to tell them she was dead.

It is understood he told police the couple entered into a suicide pact in September but he backed out after she hanged herself from a door frame in an upstairs bedroom.

I’m suprised it stayed up for 8 weeks.

The two words you never want to hear in a suicide pact: “You first.”

"Gee, that doesn't look fun at all.

I think I'll hold off for now."

[null and void]

“Oy, mate, I ‘aven’t seen yer missus in a while.”

“Eh? She’s ‘anging around...”

[Abathar]

Hell of a flystrip...

[padre35]

See, us men won't really commit to anything..

[John W]

Thats what she said.

[SIDENET]

Husband:

"I can't believe she fell for it."

[padre35]

He was probably enjoying the silence...

[edpc]

Didn’t heed the 4hr rule, as directed?

[CougarGA7]

It’s usually not a good idea to leave a girl hanging.

[Abathar]

But the smell is murder...

[AZLiberty]

Eight weeks of gloating is just plain excessive.

[Gay State Conservative]

Hey,it’s easier than divorce.

[Joe Boucher]

Gads, can you imagine what the rest of the house must look like?
Wife left hanging dead for 8 weeks ?
And how long have these dirty dishes been hanging around?

“well, you see your honor, after she volunteered to go first and did it, things suddenly didn’t seem so bad after all. There really was no point in my offing myself under those circumstances, so I didn’t.”

[ozzymandus]

He probably spent the first two weeks laughing at the fact she was dumb enough to fall for it.

[saleman]

Doctor, I think my wife is dead! Doctor: What do you mean “think”! Is she dead or not? Man: Well the sex is the same but the dishes are piling up!
