Man sentenced for torturing, electrocuting his ex-wife after he accused her of cheating
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (TCN) — A 32-year-old man will spend a minimum of 14 years in prison for torturing his ex-wife by electrocuting her and attaching her to a noose after he accused her of cheating in what prosecutors called a “very troubling case.”
WOOD-TV reports a Kent County judge sentenced Saul Ipina-Lucio to 14 to 30 years after he pleaded no contest in early October to two counts of torture and one count of intimidating a witness. The prosecutor’s office said Ipina-Lucio entered the plea after the trial started and his ex-wife testified.
According to MLive.com, on one occasion, Ipina-Lucio reportedly tied a noose around his wife’s neck and ordered her to stand on a bucket. She reportedly fell off the bucket and was being hanged, but Ipina-Lucio intervened and got her down. She did not file a police report about that incident.
Ipina-Lucio reportedly tied the victim to a children’s swing in their basement, covered her back and arms in metal wire, then electrocuted her with a jumper cable for five hours. She contacted police after that.
The victim revealed at his trial, “Any time I would answer a question or didn’t answer a question, he would zap me.”
WOOD reports Ipina-Lucio expressed remorse at the sentencing, saying, “I just want to apologize to my victim, first of all and everyone that I hurt in this process, which is my entire family and community.”
According to MLive.com, the judge told Ipina-Lucio his actions were the “most egregious behavior I’ve seen.”
