She wasn’t fatally chopped she was mutilated. The daughter also said there was really no communication between the husband and wife, just hi and hello, seems like they were living like roommates instead of a loving couple in a young marriage, they had only been married for four years. Not sure what could take the passion out of a marriage after such a short time. It is a very sad story because he did her body very bad, and the family discovered her like that the trauma at seeing their loved one like that I cannot imagine.
There also seems to be an increase in mental illness on the island, I predicted that living in a pressure cooker environment would eventually lead to such. The governing bodies need to put some program in place to help ppl before they get off. It’s time political parties put their differences aside and work together to save this country and the ppl.
It scary fi lay dung sida wah man fi 10 years an nuh know seh a yuh killa.
