Cops: Wife Literally Kills Husband After Finding Porn DVD

A Brooklyn woman is accused of murdering her husband in their Bushwick apartment, and police believe the motive was porn. Shellyann Henry, 32, allegedly stabbed her husband Rudolph Henry, 44, to death last night in front of their 4-year-old son. According to the NYPD, Mrs. Henry was about to leave for work when she discovered her husband's pornographic DVD, poorly stashed inside the living room DVD player.

A neighbor who overheard Mrs. Henry speaking with police tells the Post that Shellyann and her husband "had been watching a show about Africa on television. Her young son was home at the time and about to go to bed, and Shellyann, who worked nights, was preparing to leave the apartment. According to the neighbor, Henry explained to the police that at a certain point, her husband slapped her two times and said, 'Today is going to be my day to go to jail.' " Another neighbor tells the Daily News, "She's a great mom, but she lost it. She was screaming to police that he [had] porn with their 4-year-old son."

Shellyann Henry, who has three children, was charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Investigators believe the 4-year-old boy witnessed his father's murder.

no happy ending. :(

She was probably pissed off at something else he did and just snapped when she found the porn.

Yes, there's plenty of free ebony porn to be had online - and to be downloaded on one's iMac and iPhone...

I like how she has 3 kids, but presumably no more than one of them belonged to the murdered dude. Stay classy.

I'm glad she saved the 4-year-old from being exposed to porn; seeing his mother murder his father is probably much less damaging right?

poor guy, he (as a perv) forgot to ask two very important questions before marrying this woman:

1) do you approve of watching p*orn? if not,

2) what would you do if you find your mate's secret p*orn stash? kill him? employ the guillotine? cut him into tiny pieces and feed him to hungry maggots perhaps?

Holy Mother of Gods, Father O'Brien was right, porn does kill.

Fellas are like, 'Damn, how can l be so dumb to leave it in the VCR?' I'll tell you why.

'Cause when you're jerking off, you ain't in your right state of mind. Your brain's all cloudy and foggy.

I'll tell you exactly what happened.

One day, your woman left early. So you said, 'Let me get a little jerk before work.' So you in the house, getting your jerk on. Nice good jerk, too. You know, that "ain't-nobody-in-the-house" jerk. That's a good jerk. lt ain't like that "somebody-in-the-next-room" jerk. That's a bad jerk. That's like, 'Ahhh, Who dere?!'

I don't like that jerk. I'm talking about the good jerk, that nobody-ain't-home jerk. So you get the Vaseline ready. And you just look at your dick and go: 'Scream if you want to, noone's gonna hear.'

And right then, your relationship's in trouble.
