    This case is absolutely tragic, and it's heartbreaking to hear about the violence that Madeline Cuevas endured. However, I can't help but feel that the coverage sometimes veers too much into sensationalism. While it's important to inform the public about these horrific incidents, the way the story is presented can sometimes overshadow the real impact on the families involved. Yes, the details are chilling, but maybe we could focus more on the prevention of such tragedies and support for victims' families instead of just recounting the horror. Let’s aim to raise awareness and promote solutions, not just highlight the shock value.

      ​​@@stacyamaral4334 Yes, is very posible that she did something that caused him to react like this
      Important to note neither me or OP (so far at least) said that would excuse his actions at all, he obviously should be punished. Read the words with your mind first not your emotions only

      Ouch. I've never put hands on a woman nor would I ever. I've actually gone out of my way to physically protect women from violent men. I couldn't kill anyone unless my life was in danger or my kids or loved ones. I certainly could never kill my partner, and I've been cheated on so you'd think if we're all the same that I would've done something, but no. I left and never spoke to her or any of her family again. I didn't get over it for about 4-5 years, still haven't entirely got over it. My dream in life has always been taking care of my wife and to raise children. If all of that makes me a terrible man, I don't know what to say.
