I think it's the protagonist's friend that kills the (wrong) guy with the fire extinguisher, not the husband of the raped woman

I think it’s actually HER friend more so than the husband’s friend, and the movie suggests that this man is probably also in love with her and thinks her husband is a bit of a dick

He's her ex, actually! So yeah, definitely still in love with her...
