After midnight, the deceased notified her that he wanted to drop his brother in chelstone before going home and that is how he left. At around 03.00, she also left her friend at Chicago s for home . However, when she arrived, she was surprised to find her brother inlaw coming from her matrimonial home soaked in blood while carrying a bag.
