No, they touched her psychologically...they did harm her!

It’s not their fault that she was lily-livered. Her type would dismiss suitors for being the same, settling for the bravest of males. Yes, they should be sentenced for killing the security guard and robbing the residence. Her death is still on her.

I disagree. They invaded her privacy! You can't constrain how people react to criminal intrusion of their privacies. They are 100% liable.

Leave that one to be spewing trash. Just look at the rubbish he wrote.

When his space is invaded by armed criminals with vile intentions, he is free to unleash his inner Rambo since he isn't "lily livered."

There are so many terrorist and criminals on Nairaland and I don't know why Seun allowed it.


🤔🤔🤔

BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, THEY DIDNT TOUCH HER; SHE PANICKED TO HER DEATH.

I see some mumu up there, even if they didn't touch her. They would still be tried for stealing and killing the security

Good.the low life should go and join the girl he killed

Just when you think you have seen so much uselessness and stupidity lumped up in one individual, someone always trumps the ante.

And this article should have named the suspects. Why keep their names away?

You have no iota of conscience

A very good one. The guilty must not go free. If you k*ll by the sword, you d*e by that same sword

The secret of playing a part is to think yourself into the game. If you experienced what she did, maybe you wouldn't be here insinuating how panicked she became.

Let's talk constructively about nation building and not argue blindly on things you have little to no information about

even as you have proved not to have sense, am sure you understand what manslaughter is.

Why is government wasting food resources on those criminals? Justice should be confirmed within 3 months at least.

Meaning with a good lawyer, they could dismiss those charges in a functional society? Lol.

Although they can still charge them with armed robbery and unlawful possession of a weapon and anything else they can drum up.

They are guilty of armed robbery not the murder of the lady. They didn't kill her. She jumped to her death herself. However, armed robbery carries the same capital penalty

Can't they say, "hey we are not here to hurt you"

"Okay we are taking our leave"

Then leave immediately?

What did they do?
They scared her into jumping
