Horrifying news, the worst possible end to this wasteful tragedy.

They fought for 4 days to save her life, from this savage attack; for this evil perpetrator in Uganda, this means only one end - the gallows await.

Sad, but so freaking sad. First dosed her on petrol, then set her ablaze.

Trying to imagine what was going thru her mind while he's dosing her, the fear and sadness. It makes me want to cry. And her daughter trying to save her but failing to do so, will be a very difficult thing to get over from. Really sad. I hope she gets the much help she'll need.

I really hope the animal who did this is executed. He should be burned to death. Unfortunately I don't think Kenya has the death penalty. I hope other prisoners in Kenya get at him on the inside.

Rest in Peace to the poor, innocent woman.
