Basic change in thinking of people is needed for stopping such senseless killings in the country. Religious Gurus can play a vital role in bringing about this transformational change in the society.

People should phone the police before murdering family members, then the police can tell them don’t do it, we will come in 10 minutes, just wait. Don’t do it.

It's strange how many killers immediately turn themselves in to the police in cases like these.
