Woman off a cliff video: Infidelity has a price

Woman off a cliff: A married woman throws her husband's "other woman" off a small cliff, a ravine really, in a jealous rage. And the whole incident is captured on video.

By David Clark Scott,?Staff writer / June 22, 2013

In 1697, William Congreve wrote a poem that included the phrase: "Heav'n has no rage, like love to hatred turn'd, nor Hell a fury like a woman scorn'd"

Over the centuries, that line has been paraphrased and popularized into the saying: "Hell has no fury like a woman scorned."

Now there's a video on the Internet that vividly illustrates the proverbial wisdom.

Captured on a closed circuit security camera is a rendezvous in Arequipa, Peru, between Renzo Zanabria, a married man and Sandra Bruna Morales, his lover. But the tryst is suddenly cut short by the arrival of Zanabria's wife, Lissette Lupo Mamani.

Zanabria's wife grabs Ms. Morales by the hair drags her to the edge of a ravine and pushes her off.

Let's be clear, while most of the English language media reporting on this as a "woman tossed off a cliff " - which sounds more dramatic ? the Spanish news reports used the word "barranco," which means ravine. That seems like a more accurate description of the scene. Of course, the reports say the ravine was about 20 feet deep, so this wasn't like getting tossed into a ditch, either.?

Ms. Morales survives the tumble into the ravine - apparently without serious injury - gets up and leaves, all the while Zanbria's wife is gesturing and shouting at her in anger. Zanabria, wisely, slinks away and out of view of the camera.

Ms. Morales probably didn't expect that getting caught sleeping with a married man would get her tossed into a ravine. And she certainly didn't expect that anyone with access to the Internet would have a front row seat to the incident.

But based on the comments being left on various sites, the sentiment among most women is that if you play with fire, you can expect to get burned. There hasn't been much consternation over vigilante justice or much compassion shown for the woman tossed in the ravine. Some have suggested the wife should have tossed her husband into the ravine too.

Given that all the world saw the incident, and the obvious enthusiasm in the Spanish language media for the story, Zanabria apparently didn't think he had much to lose by taking his plea for forgiveness public as well.

Americas Noticias shows Zanabria holding a microphone and talking into a news camera with this statement, which reads in part:

"I beg you, on my knees?? ... i don't care what others think, my only concern is you and my children, who I need because without you I am nothing. I ask you, please, to forgive me. I have made mistakes, but I miss you."

So far, no reports on how his scorned wife received the request for forgiveness. But one suspects that the "other woman" may have learned a lesson.
