Murder Most Fowl

For the past week the whole country has been caught in the shock and gruesomeness of two murders. Though they have occurred in two different cities in the country the whole country has been shocked by the way these crimes were committed. It makes you wonder who would be such a fiend to carry out such diabolical and cold-blooded act. Though the paper pins the reason as rage, crime of passion or honor killing, who could be consumed by so much hate or ego, to carry out such an act. Is rage so blinding that it can drive a person to commit such a heinous crime.

We live in a time where there is so much of stress with no outlet for it. Is this rage a manifestation of this pent up stress??? It's scary, such a feeling can turn anyone into a cool blooded crime. Reading about the brutality in the way crime was carried out makes you want to cringe. Makes you worry what the world is coming to.

Based on the publicly available information thus far, it is difficult to determine whether the Talwar murders were dishonor killings (if that's one of the cases to which you refer).
