Scorned spouse: Officials say Adam Garibay murdered the man he discovered was having an affair with his wife

A Texas Border Patrol agent has been arrested on suspicion of killing a man he discovered was having an affair with his wife.

Adam Garibay, 33, of Corpus Christi, discovered the affair online early Thursday, brutally beat and restrained his wife, then drove more than two hours north to murder Keith Martin, officials said.



He then took police on a high speed chase before being run off the road and Tazed into submission.



Mr Garibay’s young son witnessed the distraught man restrain his wife, 28, with duct tape and handcuffs before running to a neighbors for help while he sped off, KSAT reported.

Mr Garibay discovered the Facebook affair and immediately confronted his wife, demanding to know where Mr Martin, 35, lived, police told KSAT.

'They were having an affair. She got caught,’ Medina County Sheriff Randy Brown told the San Antonio Express.

When she resisted, he restrained her with duct tape and handcuffs, forcing her to give them Mr Martin’s Hondo, Texas address, authorities said.

‘He was able to get from her by threat the address of the man,’ Mr Brown told KSAT.

The scorned spouse then drove more than 160 miles north to Mr Martin’s Hondo, Texas home to confront him about the affair.

Mr Martin’s young son ran next door to a neighbor’s for help, saying his mother was hurt, KRISTV reported.

Authorities were made aware of the murder plot when they arrived to free Ms Martin.

Police told KIII they found her ‘pretty severely beat up… tied up with duct tape around her face, her legs, the tape behind her arms, waist, everywhere.’
