THIS IS ANOTHER OF THESE DUMB FOREIGN NEWS SERVICES, MAINLY CHINESE / RUSSIAN / PAKISTAN / INDIA AS CAN PLAINLY BE SEEN BY THE BAD GRAMMAR AND TOTAL LACK OF CORRECTNESS ... WHEN YOU SEE THESE SURROUNDED BY ADS DELETE AND MOVE ON !!!!!
haha so I'm not the only one who's noticed that "english is not my first language" kind of grammar on this site? i wonder who runs this site, and if they pick up the stories off the foreign language sites and just use a bad translation program to create an english language version instead of just searching for an actual english language version of the story to plagiarize.
your header is WRONG! she was not SHOT, she was STABBED... SMH
She wasn't shot, she was stabbed and she was his Wife, Valerie.
Yeah, that's a bizarre statement that the article makes. Yes, we do know there was a relationship between the two. And they've had three children together.
Exactly. In addition, it was one of their sons who stabbed her.
