I am surprised that I haven't seen any reference on here regarding an ongoing news story here in the UK about a British Asian who's wife was killed while they were on honeymoon in South Africa.
I am not clever enough to cut and paste stuff from another part of the internet to here, so maybe someone else can provide that to clarify the situation. Also I might be putting this in the wrong section, maybe it ought to be in "World Ptsd News" if so I apologise and will accept the telling off.
Long story short.
A couple were on honeymoon in South Africa. After visiting a restaurant they asked the driver to take them for a drive through a Township. The cab was held up at gunpoint and the husband thrown out, his wife was later found shot dead.
Husband flew back to the UK, then taxi driver is charged with murder and implicates the husband for setting the whole thing up!
South African Police want to extradite the husband, he protest's that he won't get a fair trial there and doesn't want to go back there. As court proceeding continues it become's known that husband has Ptsd.
Latest news is that husband has been committed to a secure unit suffering from severe Ptsd.
Things that bother me.
I want to believe it's untrue, an attractive young couple, why marry someone just to murder them?
Is "Severe Ptsd" a new category?
Is Ptsd being put forward as a reason for the murder?
Is Ptsd being put forward as a result of the murder?
Is Ptsd being put forward as a reason not to stand trial?
After the successful World Cup Finals and all the good publicity are the South Africans capable of setting a foreigner up in an attempt to protect the good image they achieved?
Is it my Ptsd that makes that last comment seem reasonable?
Am I wrong to be upset that my wife gives me a special look when this comes on the news?
If you haven't seen it do a Google search then pass on your opinions please.
