WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE THE PUNISHMENT FOR HER?

Ewww ..Im wondering if they ate him, after cooking him. They didn’t tell. Well, it depends on if her husband abused her. Maybe she felt like it was her only way out. This all seems unreal, but Im trying to look at it like abused Pakistan women would, because how many of them have to live. If he hadn’t severely abused her..Life in prison without parole. If he had ..”voluntary manslaughter” = 15 years. If she was mentally ill, she should be confined to a mental hospital for life.
