A Miami father-of-two has been arrested for allegedly murdering his wife and son after admitting to having an affair before trying to kill himself, police said.
Jean Carlos Aponte, 40, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the death of his 38-year-old wife Sara Ashley Gama and their two-year-old son Ethan Aponte.
Gama and her son were found dead inside the family's $850,000 home in Plantation, a city west of Fort Lauderdale in the South Florida metropolitan area on March 26 - the couple's four-month-old baby was found alive in a swinging chair when concerned relatives forced their way into the home.
According to an arrest affidavit viewed by DailyMail.com, the husband and wife had been messaging about their martial issues on the morning of the killings.
Gama sent a message around 6:50 a.m. that said: 'So let me ask you - when you went to Colombia for your dad's funeral what happened there? Because there are tons of escorts there.'
Aponte responded: 'I understand I broke ur trust.'

'You broke a lot of things. It's quite serious. You also broke our marriage vows,' Gama said.
'I'm not a good person,' Aponte replied.
'And you're realizing this just now as your come to Jesus moment,' Gama said.
The mother-of-two's search history revealed she had looked up 'just found out my husband cheated on me years ago' and 'how does alimony work in Florida,' according to the affidavit. She also visited a divorce lawyer's website shortly before the killing.
Court documents revealed video from cameras inside the house captured the couple arguing before the attack.
