The Canadian Wife Beater?

Benoit’s History of Domestic Violence Exposed:

TMZ.com is reporting that Chris Benoit may have had a history of domestic violence.

In divorce papers filed in 2003, Nancy Benoit included a petition for protection from domestic abuse against Chris. In the papers, Nancy claimed that Benoit, “lost his temper and threatened to strike the petitioner and cause extensive damage to the home and personal belongings of the parties, including furniture.” Nancy added that she was, “in reasonable fear for petitioner’s own safety and that of the minor child.”

Earlier I theorized at one of my other sites that maybe it was the threat of divorce that caused Benoit to kill his wife and son.
