A jealous wife allegedly stabbed her husband after finding photos of him in bed with a 'younger woman', not realising it was actually her. Identified as 'Leonora R', she was arrested after neighbours alerted police to screaming and shouting at the home she shares with her partner in Cajeme, Sonora, Mexico, according to reports.

The accused's husband, referred to only as 'Juan N', was found to have been stabbed several times in the arms and legs. Leonora had supposedly discovered the snaps on Juan's mobile phone and mistook them for proof he had cheated on her, reports Dossier Politico.

She is also said to have hurled insults at him during the violent attack, with her husband eventually able to wrestle the knife away. Juan then explained the explicit photos were from years ago when they first met, with Leonora then recognising her younger self. He told police he'd found the snaps in an old email and transferred them to his phone.
