Hummmmm.. Cutting of the pencil is okay

This is good news! But I pray its justice. Please if you can escape, give it a try.. She is still not going to be okay for a period of time. She needs serious counselling and mental balancing.

Self defence is allowed

You and your family had better relocate cos the family of the man you killed will not be happy with the judgement & may be after your life. It has not ended yet o! You had better watch your back.
