I know. They have ways of making you speak.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Married couple admit murdering wife’s lover
The suspects have both confessed to the crime. The wife will be out before she's 50, but the guy in the sack isn't so lucky. Such a tragedy for a bit of nooky.
Court spokesman Sam Rithy Veasna told Khmer Times yesterday that the judge sentenced the husband to 30 years in jail, while the wife received 20 years.
“The court decided to convict the married couple under articles 200 and 29 of the Criminal Code on charges of premeditated murder for the husband and conspiracy to premeditated murder for the wife,” he said.
Khem Heng, 29, and his wife Chab Sokcheun, 26, were arrested on July 3 and were sent to the provincial court a day later, before being temporarily detained for more than three months before heading to trial.
On July 2, a man herding oxen saw a bag floating on a pond, which he retrieved before contacting district police. Inside the bag was the swollen body of the 27-year-old Ley Lin, a construction worker.
After finding the body, district police investigated before arresting the married couple. Both suspects confessed and told police they killed the man over an affair he was having with Ms. Sokcheun...

Amazing that in this case the body was not discovered sooner - it took 9 days - but yes, what did the killers think would happen to it in the end ?

Sad and stupid.
Occams razor.
It really works.
