Stabbing the leg might mean self defense, it can become dangerous when the stabbing ruptures a blood vessel. And how many times did she stab the man, the more time she stab, means she was dangerous really.

Her case is not as terrible like the other time on naijapals there was a news where a girl stab her brother to death, after her brother won a physical battle about who should wash the plate, in that case it can be established that after their fathers death, since the girl was the first born she took the role of master of the house, and added to that her ego was high like the sky, mixed with tactlessness, in this present case, the details are not clear, what caused the stabbing.

When people kill, they might be empowered by ego, belief or a sense of invincibility, at the moment when they kill, they feel they have gained what was lost, it could be honour, pride or a sense of power, whatever, but after killing, the true evil ones will like to do it again, while the one that were living according to the heat of the moment will feel so sorry, now which ever one, the Nigerian legal system may not care, and I feel sorry for the murderer and the victim, God will see them true.

Women who commit crime and who end in prison do not deserve rape, they deserve to be confined, where they loss their freedom, and think about what they have done, in case serious crimes are committed, they can be locked away for life, especially when they love crime and will do it again.
