Why dont they burn his f...... ass he is not worthy to be a father.

Kanti rape and women abuse are more severe than to kill someone...

20 years its a joke...100 years for this demon.

Insihluku! Wayeyizonde ngani nje ingane? Wazibulala yena uqobo kulowomnyama. Wayengacabangile.

Give him 20 years but make sure you announce his crime when he walks into prison and then have all the guards go on lunch
