Horrible.
But by no means confined to our host nation.
Why not?
If one is capable and has passed the test, that should be enough.
Not sure what it had to do with the murder, mind.

Another day, another brutal murder of a spouse or a family member. I wonder what the excuse is this time.
No excuse justifies such a heinous, vicious murder.
