Murder-Suicide

My life was filled with peace and joy until January 22, 2008 when my beautiful sister, Linda, was murdered by her husband. He stabbed her 47 times and she bled to death, alone on the bedroom floor while he had sex with a 16 year-old girl in his son's bed in the next room. Husbands killing wives. It has become a national pastime and a national disgrace. Time and again, we hear the same tragic tale: a man has a woman who tries to leave him. He has a weapon, and he uses it. Children are orphaned; survivors left in despair. We have a lot of questions that have not been answered but I believe the truth will come out - it always does.
