this is so sad

 I am at loss for words. I mean how does one become so cruel? To cut someone into pieces after murdering them, requires special kind of wickedness that is not even common in animals. In fact, animals don't kill to mutilate. I think it is only possible because we are capable of such evil.

I refuse to call this a simple murder. It is barbarism and should be treated as such without any hesitation.

Unfortunately, we have no greater punishment than death penalty. I wish there was a way to teach such people a lesson. Sometimes, I feel barbarians should be served a barbaric meal of punishment. Skinned alive and fed to rabid dogs. But that would break down the very concept on which the modern society is built. Still I seriously wish there was a punishment that could create a terror in the hearts of people who even think of doing this. Capital punishment is simply not enough.

Having said that, I sometimes wonder how people get trapped into such relationships. Can't they see the monster who they have supposedly fallen in love with? How can your love be so blind not to recognise a person and his real nature?

It is hard to believe that Aftab turned monster suddenly in months. Cruelty is not a switch you can turn on and off. It has to exist in some form.

Obviously, I am not blaming the victim. This could have happened in a lot of different circumstances. Plus, why Aftab chose to kill her is yet unknown. But having somebody close enough, other than the person you love, like a friend who misses your presence, could save your life. If I go missing, at least 12 people I know will come to know about my absence in less than 48 hours.

I repeat again that my intention is not to pass the blame or sound insensitive. Aftab is a barbarian without a shadow of doubt. But I am simply trying to say that our life is our primary responsibility. The only people we can trust fully are our parents. That too sometimes can be a gamble. All I am suggesting is that we need develop some mechanism to recognise a monster before it is too late.
