deeply disturbing to learn, need to probe why it happens so frequently.

It is no wonder that the employers and their wives who are
most of them were very rude to their employees and this lady
who killed the employer is reasonable because he must have
tortured this woman so she could no longer tolerate this had
this opportunity to stab this man at least at the Airport and she
knows the consequences of this act and this action is due to
sudden provocation of the woman. The employer deserved
this punishment one day.
