The man, identified only as Walter,
was driving home to Argentina from a
holiday in Brazil when he stopped at a
petrol station. After filling up his car he
went to the bathroom – not realizing his
wife, who has been named as Claudia, had got out of the car to buy cookies
after she had been sleeping on the
backseat. Walter and his 14-year-old son, who
was sitting on the front seat playing a
game on a mobile, then continued on
their journey leaving Claudia behind.
When she realized they had left
without her, Claudia reportedly tried to call her husband’s mobile but could not
get through due to lack of signal. She
then contacted the local police who
took her to the station until her
husband returned two hours later. A traffic police officer in the Brazilian
area of Passo Fundo said the wife was
so angry she kicked the car when he
returned, . He said: “She was very angry. She was
moaning at him for taking so long
to realize. “There was no physical
assault, but she was more upset
when I saw the husband.”
