Greek Ambassador murdered by wife's Lover

[Andy_Ross]

Police in Brazil say the Greek ambassador to the country was killed by a local police officer who was having an affair with the envoy's wife.
Kyriakos Amiridis had been missing since Monday. His body was found in a burnt-out car on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro on Thursday.
Police say the ambassador's Brazilian wife, Francoise Amiridis, plotted the murder with her lover.
Sergio Gomes Moreira Filho confessed to strangling him to death, police said.

Reads like the plot of a movie.

And not a good movie, either.

A run of the mill political intrigue movie.

Yes, but this would only kick off a deeper criminal conspiracy. The wife's lover was an agent for a shadow organization and was trying to pump her for information. But the husband found out and had to be eliminated before he could expose the shadow organization.

Next stop: Morocco, then Nepal

Maybe it's a trend. Ambassadors being killed by police officers.

And not a good movie, either.

Reads like the plot of a movie.

Or a Greek tragedy

And not a good movie, either.

I dunno, Brazillian wife, lover, car burned up in Rio... I'd watch it.

Or, you know, some other porn...

The wife's lover was an agent for a shadow organization and was trying to pump her for information.

I'll estimate that the pumping had more mundane motivations, and information gathering was not one of them. Gratuitous smart alec response is now dispensed with.

This story is just sad, and in one particular way very disturbing.
The wife's lover is a cop. He figures he's the one who can get away with murder.
