The case in in court so the outcome is not known, lakini taking a hypothetical scenario where someone kills my wife,
I would never take cash from them as payment - wacha ikae, kwani hii pesa haiwezi tafutwa.
I thought I was the only remaining man,kumbe we are two!!!
@nakujua, I think that is to rigid stand.
There are two ways out of the problem by law:
1. the law of equality: eye for an eye. The guy to face death sentence.
2. But if any remission is made by the family of the killed woman, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate family with handsome gratitude
A rigid stand will not benefit the family. If he goes to jail, the family will feel satisfied, and nothing more. If he is made to pay blood money, then Ng'nga will feel the pinch and the family will get compensation and feel satisfied.
So I would go for option (2).
