Marriage - A Fight to the Finish!

I have heard of marriages leading to severe disputes where both partners hit each other. But i came across this intresting article which yes makes you wonder were they into some kind of racket and fought over the profits. You decide after reading the article below.

A Mexican couple is recovering separately after a marital spat got out of control and saw them firing guns, throwing knives and hurling homemade bombs at each other, the Mexican daily Milenio reported this week.

In scenes reminiscent of the hit romantic comedy Mr and Mrs Smith, which starred Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Juan Espinosa and his wife Irma Contreras fought until their house blew up in a homemade gasoline bomb explosion, Milenio said.

Police called to the home in the town of Oxkutzcab arrested Espinosa. Contreras was taken to hospital with third-degree burns. A local police official confirmed the report, but didn’t provide further information. In the violence-filled movie about the fictional Smiths, Pitt and Jolie play married assassins ordered to kill each other.

Espinosa said he was glad his wife had suffered burns, while Contreras said she was only sorry that she had not “hacked off his manhood’’.
