Regardless of the crime committed, I think no one deserves their lives to be taken as it can never be justified no matter how heinous the crime they did. Unfortunately, stealing money is as dangerous as people think it should be and this news is no different from what we see and hear everyday.
i am okay with the brutal beating and torture but not with the killing. i wish to know where that happened and what the government made as judgement for the killer. that is a lesson for scammers too, they should know they are playing on some people's temperament and intelligence. the dupe is quite huge.
Brutally torturing an individual can never be justified due to stealing or any crime committed, so I may have to disagree with your opinion. Unfortunately, it may be easy to say that it may be justified but doing harm to an individual can never be right, regardless of the circumstance.
