How could you possibly kill your own husband and then dismember his body and put it in your family suitcases? I honestly can't comprehend this... Well, at least she is headed where she needs to be.......Prison for a long time. The father of her child.. Amazing. Any thoughts on this?

I don't know anything of the story, but usually a woman who does that has been pushed too far. I don't know what the husband did to receive such abuse, but there had to be a trigger of some sort. I know of a woman whose husband used to beat her and the kids. One night he comes home drunk. Falls alseep in the bed. The woman then proceeded to sew him in under the covers, in neat orderly stiches. When she was done, she took a baseball bat and beat the living daylights out of him. There was essentially nothing left of him. A little while later, she killed the kids. When they asked her why. Her response 'enough was enough'. I don't even pretend to know what it's like inside the minds of those women. Then again, I don't want to be inside their heads, way too scary.

Actually sewing him in under the covers, now if that wasn't premeditation I don't know what is. Why the kids though, what did they have to do with it? That is insane. Thanks for responding:)

Yeah, I throught the same thing, why the kids? I think she felt they had been through enough and it was better to end their miserey then let them live out life with such bad memories. Then again, I really can't answer what that woman was thinking. It's amazing what we will do when pushed to our limits.

I dont know how anyone could actually go through with doing that! holy hell! I mean sure, we've all thought about beating them up.. maybe beating them in the eye with our shoes.. lol having a bad day, pms kicking in, husband being a jerk hole! I sure have! but KILLING someone? taking their life away, They are someones son, someones father, and people love them weather you do or not, JUST DEvorce him! lol. Ok, so if he was abusive and was hurting my child, then maybe i could really do some damage to him. but i dont know anything about this case, was the guy a molester or anything ?
