Edward Rogers Jr. stored Alyssa Marie Mejia’s body in his garage freezer for eight days before ringing relatives to confess to the crime.

The 66-year-old is then said to have shot himself dead in what police are investigating as a murder-suicide.

Earlier he had shown the corpse to a friend, to whom he’d confessed, who didn’t believe he had killed his 24-year-old wife.

According to reports, the man, from Arlington, Texas, is said to have squeezed her buttocks during the display.

Dallas Morning News reports that police later found Rogers Jr dead in his bedroom and the woman’s body in a freezer.

Police had been tipped off by a friend who said that he killed his wife, said the affidavit.

The man claimed that Rogers took him to his home and showed him the body,

As he picked up the corpse, he is said to have grabbed the buttocks, and smirking claimed her body was “cold”.

Rogers had apparently told his friend that his Filipino wife had hit her head on the corner of a sharp object after he pushed her during an argument.

The alleged killer is said to have been due in court in August to be sentenced for choking his wife.

He previously pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of a colleague in 2004 who he stabbed during an argument at a pool party.
