      I came to the realization that letting someone go and not stringing them along comes from LOVE. People who are cheating like this man do no love the other person, they're not looking out for that person's best interest, that's why cheaters cheat and don't just break up, they don't care about that other person like they think they do.

I moved over to another school not too long after being her student, and saw her a few years later (I never knew she had married) and greeted her with an enthusiastic "Hello Miss Inggs!". She asked me how I was doing and we had a little chat. A few months later I was in class when a classmate asked me if I'd heard she disappeared. I was completely gutted, and kster that day another teacher just casually mentioned that her body was found. I burst out crying. She didn't deserve the pain, she didn't deserve those frightening last moments. She would have gladly given anyone the clothes off her own back. RIP Miss Inggs

I still remember the day we were called into the school hall to be told the bad news, the whole hall erupted with terror and cries, which is why when you mentioned and showed the image of the students I feel that pain. It was truly painful. After I got over the disbelief and sadness, I was angry. I hate what he did to her because of the potential she had and all the people that were effected by her murder and I was angry for her poor family's sake.

      @🥀Flower🥀 I am 100% positive she didn't have a hot sexy woman approach him prior to marriage to test his faithfulness. Hell, I am pretty sure she never even searched his phone or computer. Not blaming her, it's normal. Men and women make mistakes when dating. Especially women as once feelings and emotions are involved, it's difficult to make smart decisions. This should be a learning lesson to women out there. Doesn't matter how nice or good you think your man is, you gotta do everything in your power to test him and uncover everything. And immediately leave them over cheating.

His direct narrator-like approach let’s us see a little of his own amiable personality which makes the telling of the victim’s stories ever more relatable.

      In this case he did not think it was easier. He thought if he divorces her, he would lose the inheritance. So economically speaking for him it was more rentable for her to die. He really thought he couldn't pull this off and he could have, if he would have hired a competent hitman that would have used a mask for instance when going to the ATM or that would not have used the ATM, or that would have killed her without the motive of robbery, but would have instead made it look like it was a ritual killing or something similar, or a sexual abuse killing. Would have been easier to stage and much more believable since those things unfortunately happen often and specially in South Africa. But good they did not plan the heinous murder properly and that they got all caught pretty fast. Such a sad life she had. Not only a cheating but also a murderous husband.

      Thank God no one murdered you! It's a lot of work pulling yourself out of the darkness and even though others can help you, you ultimately do it yourself. Stay strong and keep caring for yourself and those who love you!
