A cuckolded husband who allegedly threatened to burn down his marital home after he caught his wife in bed with her rugby-playing lover has walked free from court.
David Lukey was said to have telephoned his brother-in-law the day after he was 'destroyed' when he walked in on estranged wife Andrea and lover Chris Andrews.
The 47-year-old was alleged to have told Ian Donegan that if 'Chris steps foot in my house again I will kill him and burn the house down and take the kids.'
Mr Lukey, an aerospace engineer, and his wife had previously agreed to a trial separation after having marriage difficulties, the court heard.
But jurors heard he discovered his 37-year-old wife and her lover in a state of undress when he turned up at the former marital home to do his laundry.
