CONCORD, N.H.—The wife of a New Hampshire man accused of killing her co-worker after he discovered they were texting—and then forcing her to behead him—denied shooting him Wednesday, saying her husband choked and punched her and eventually put his gun into her mouth that night.

“You know that you’re going to die tonight, right?” Britany Barron, 33, testified her husband, Armando Barron, said in September 2020, not long before the two left the house to go to the park where he allegedly used her phone to tell the co-worker to meet her there.
