Bemba ****! You read about their attrocities every day!!
Febby Chali ulekapila bwino, wamona nomba, waisanga muli mwamoneni
ati “uwauma nafyala, omina umuku walimo” now this is some serious Bemba adage.
Um beaten to death ummmmmh there is something not been said straight forward I think the old lady was a problem for the daughter in law to vent full force anger like that am sure it was the insulting and bad mouthing of the daughter in law and it had been long overdue but she had it coming some of these in-laws can be devilish at times and want to bring problems in their children’s marriages.
Where was the husband/son? Women…….whatever differences you may have with your in-laws, you should always remember that your husband did not fall from the sky. There must have been somebody special behind your husbands success. Somebody very loving and caring must have been around taking care of your husband. Cooking and feeding him, mending his cloths, hugging him when in pain and lovingly drying his tears. Why not learn to appreciate and love this woman. Mums can be a pain, but they need to be respected…..and loved
Lock up this murderer.
Sad story. However, unless we know the full story, we cant pass judgement.
Some mothers-in-law are like devils. Also some daughters-in-law are like devils. Even some sons-in-law. People familiar with the situation could help paint the full picture of what exctly went on in this marriage.
No full story can justify the act of mudering her in-law
There is no full story that can justify murdering her beating to death her mother in-law

Saddened

The fact here remains that she lay her hand on a seventy year old woman.From this, one can likely conclude that she was the agitater even in the dispute btwn she and the husband.If she didn’t like how the MIL was resolving the matter,why didn’t she just pack her stuff and leave? Now she will have a long time to think about that. While she sits in prison.
