The woman identified as the jealous wife of a Foreign Office envoy in London, unlocked the man's phone with his thumbprint while he was asleep and was confronted by a sight she did not expect.
After she has read his mobile phone messages, she found out her husband had been cheating on her.
According to
The Sun UK, the diplomat was arrested at his London office on suspicion of actual bodily harm when she ended up in hospital with injuries allegedly inflicted by him.
She believed he was having an affair with a female work colleague, a source said.
While the 40-year-old slept in their central London apartment, she took his phone, enabled with a fingerprint sensor, and pressed his thumb on the home button to unlock it and found out he was cheating after reading his messages.
He woke to realise he had been “caught with his trousers down” as his wife confronted him over the contents of his phone, said the source.
A row erupted during which, the wife alleges, he lashed out at her. Following the bust-up in the early hours of Saturday July 16, she went to hospital for treatment for unspecified injuries and made a complaint at lunchtime to police alleging she was assaulted.
Her husband was arrested at the beginning of this month at work in front of shocked colleagues and taken to a central London police station.
His fingerprints, a mugshot and DNA saliva swab were taken. He was questioned under caution by community safety unit officers, who specialise in domestic violence cases, and bailed.
It is understood he is on gardening leave.
