69 years old 69! Can you believe it? Well, yet again we see another senior losing his mind and committing a heinous act of violence that could have needed with far worse consequences.

What is going on, why does this keep occurring?

Are the authorities privy to information we can’t see, an answer is required and action taken to investigate and stop this mindless violence.

"The knife accidentally fell into her chest when we were having an argument". At least he wasn't intending to kill her.

Just kiss and make up!
