Texas Trucker Gets Life Sentence For Killing Wife, Her Lover After Filming Their Affair
A Texas truck driver who used a spycam to catch his wife cheating on him and later killed her and her boyfriend, was sentenced to life in prison this week.
Jordy Husein Suljanovic, 46, was dealt a life sentence without the possibility of parole in the 2018 murders of his wife, Adriana Perez, 41, and her boyfriend, Omar Santamaria-Ruiz, 33, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office announced, KTRK-TV reported. He was convicted on capital murder charges on Tuesday following an eight-day trial.

On Oct. 2, 2018, Suljanovic gunned down Perez and Santamaria-Ruiz after he caught the pair having sexual relations in real-time using a “secret” camera he’d covertly installed at the couple’s Houston home. According to investigators, the truck driver was notified of the salacious recording while he was away from the home working on a long-haul job. Suljanovic later returned to his home where he shot and killed Perez and Santamaria-Ruiz in the closet of the master bedroom, prosecutors said.
“When he saw his 41-year-old wife and her 33-year-old lover at the house, he returned home and killed both of them, waking their children in the middle of the night with the gunshots,” prosecutors said in a statement this week.
