Author: Yepo

So many questions to ask about this article. 1. Why did this woman marry a man she did not want to marry? 2. What was the childhood background of the man. 3. Are there any government agencies involved in this case apart from the courts and prison service. If not, why not. 4. Did the man have any help after he chopped his wifes arms off. What help did he need? 5. What role did the womans mother-in-law play in keeping this unhealthy relationship going? 6. Is there any help available for the girl baby born into this situation? What would help this child come to terms with the maiming of her mother by her father? 7. Is it possible to know if the mother or father had an abortion in their past.
