If you thought your ex was bad, here's someone who wouldn't even let their ex rest in peace. A man has been caught urinating on the grave of his ex-wife whom he divorced 48 years ago by the woman's horrified children.

In shocking footage captured by a hidden camera set up by family members, the man can be seen pulling up in his SUV only to get out while leaving the engine running to walk over to her gravesite.

The man can then be seen unzipping his pants in order to relieve himself, completely unaware that his every move is being caught on film. Shockingly, he brought his current spouse with him to defile the memorial.

The man with an apparent 48-year grudge has even left bags of poop on his ex's final resting place.

The footage was posted to Facebook by Michael Murphy, 43, whose mother, Linda Louise Torello, lies under the gravesite being urinated upon.  She died of cancer in 2017 aged 66.

Murphy and his sister first noticed a plastic bag of poop at their mother’s grave in April and thought it was something left by mistake by a dog walker.

But then it happened again.

The siblings called the cops, who took a report. Determined to figure out what was going on, the pair got permission from a cemetery manager to place trail cameras in the trees to see if they could catch the vandal. When they checked the camera footage, they spotted the gross grave visitor: a man who was briefly married to Torello in the 1970s.

The footage was too blurry and grainy to take to authorities, so a week ago, Murphy and his sister got up at 5 a.m. to drive to the cemetery and laid in wait. Murphy set up his smartphone on a nearby headstone to take better photos and hid behind a small shed.

Murphy said the video and pictures he and his sister got indicated that the man drove to the cemetery almost every morning between 6:14 a.m. and 6:18 a.m. with his current wife, got out of the car, walked to Torello’s grave and peed on it.

“I can’t get my wife to go out to dinner but this guy gets his wife to go along with him to desecrate my mom’s remains every morning!” Murphy fumed.

“I was shaking while I was hiding. My sister was crying. … I was sick I was so angry,” 

“I don’t know if the man owns a dog, or is sh-tting in a bag himself, or is getting some dog sh-t,” Murphy said. “All I know is that he’s using my mother’s grave as his toilet every morning.”

“He could have been peeing out there for five years and we wouldn’t have known it,” Murphy said. “We only found out because of the feces.”

The pissy man left Murphy’s mother when she was pregnant and never had anything to do with his biological daughter, the son claims, except for one time earlier this year when he ran into the daughter and said he wished she were dead and cursed her and her mother.

Murphy explained how since the footage was shot, the man has stopped with the daily ritual.

'I believe he stopped but I'm so protective at this point, l've been going every morning just in case. At least if he sees a car there he will be deterred to keep driving by because the police were a complete letdown'

'I promised my wife and kids I wouldn't hurt him but I'm afraid to confront him because I wouldn't be able to control myself if I got that close to him. He did this to my mothers grave for months maybe years. Every cop I speak to has said "you're a better man than me cause I would have killed him." '

Murphy told of the enormous hurt he felt having been the victim of such an act makes his mother's death all the more harder to bear. 

'Having this done is actually worse then the loss of my mother please pray for me to not jeopardize my wife, my kids and my house, business etc,' he said.

The man has not reached out to the perpetrator personally but did post a message on social media that he apparently saw which stated: 'A storm is coming'.

The Orangetown, New York police said there was nothing they could do because there were no specific threats of physical violence.
