      They weren’t forced to. They were advised by their lawyers and they chose to follow their advice. I’m American. I recall when I left my ex husband after a violent fight I just left and barely had a few outfits with me. I truly feared for my life and knew he would kill me if I stayed. It was so hard to get any of my possessions back. I had no rights. It was crazy. I was really bitter about having to start over after my divorce, not even having a kitchen towel to my name. But time has allowed me to see that it was the best decision to just run away when I still had the chance. But it was hard. Pride and principle tends to take priority for some. Fortunately for me I was so fearful of my ex that I knew better than to stay around just to prove out the “possession is 9/10ths of the law” saying.

Simply being narcissistic doesn't make someone more likely to be a killer but anger issues and previous abusive behavior do make it more likely that that person will hurt or kill someone.

      There is nothing to justify this murder, but I believe that lawyer who advised to wife to live in this man's house to be intitled for half of it after divorce, is as much responsible for this woman's death. If you want to keep your belongings after divorce, file a marriage agreement. These two weren't compatible partners at the start, one being outgoing and another house person, it is never going to work out. One will suffer and it will lead to depression, which will escalate both to suffer. This scenario was predictable... Where was the loving friends and family to advise to move out instead to incourage her to get this man down by taking his house? He warned agencies about his state of mind, it wasn't taken seriously, why? Instead he was drugged with more substances... Seriously? They thought it will solve the problem by putting depressed person under more effective influencer? When everybody involved will start to take responsibility for their actions that's when we will start to live in peace. Not greed for money, but understanding and accepting differences in others will grow love to each other. I believe this man didn't feel loved and appreciated, that's why he didn't care to loose everything he had at the end.

    If you'd rather kill someone than get divorced and lose any of your precious stuff then don't get married. If you're so depressed you feel like you could kill someone then it's your responsibility to do something about that. If you never even make an attempt to get better there's no chance you can say that mental health is to blame, and it shouldn't diminish your responsibility.

 There hasn’t been a video by Truly Criminal where I don’t end up just bawling like a baby. The respect and compassion you show the victims is amazing. The other thing, I don’t know if this would be the right place to say this but, it is incredible to me how different police and dispatchers are in other countries. In the states, all the dispatchers are rude and impatient and the whole world knows how are police are. It was refreshing to see patient and kind dispatchers & first responders here. Anyways, great video as always. Glad they locked the SOB up!

It's awful that the courts work this way, knowing the awful outcomes this advice could possibly cause. After quite awhile and all these awful stories everyone was telling her just walk away. Is it worth being this miserable, risking someone eventually snapping from all the stress and torment??? That's how I feel here.

    However, both of them were hell-bent on staying in the home so that the other one wouldn't end up with it. In the end, she's deceased, and he's in prison for the rest of his life, so neither of them ended up with the house.
    If someone threatened to kill me that many times to that many people, I would have taken the officer's offer to go to a safe house.
    Her thinking that it was just his way of tricking her into leaving the house was a life ending gamble.
    Sadly, it's too late now. 😱
    No possession is worth giving up your life for.
    Quite honestly, they weren't a very good match from the very beginning as he was quiet and withdrawn, and she was gregarious and outgoing.
    It's essentially like trying to mix oil and water it will never work.
    I hope that she rests in peace and that her children, grandchildren, other family and friends have have gained some sort of comfort knowing that he will never get out of prison until he leaves in a pine box.

      I agree. That was my thought that get out of the house it’s not worth it especially if you feel stalked inside the house.

    Stories like this are why I'm leaving my abuser now in my 30s and not growing old and senile with them.

    "Diminished capacity" or not, this murder was completely premeditated. Not only did he make comments about stabbing her, he took the 2 knives upstairs with him when he went to "talk" to her. She must have been so terrified, it's so awful. He should NEVER be let out of prison.

    Poor Linda, she didn’t stand a chance. She was the height of a child
what an evil, selfish, disgusting bully he is.

    The guy told people he was thinking about killing her. They should have been separated and not living together

    Why do these people only come out AFTERWARDS about these violent incidents?
    God it's sad it got to this point.
    She should have taken the police's advice and taken the offer of a safe house.
    Never live with your spouse after or during a divorce

    In a contentious dovorce. Why tf would u stay living together?!? Greed or control are the only reasons I can think of if one has somewhere else to go. She had 2 grown kids she was close with... why not stay there? Especially after this man was telling people he was going to harm her. He literally asked for help đŸ€ŠđŸ»â€â™€ïž

      Shows what meant more to him. Too bad it wasn't her. She had so many people who loved her, and he obviously wasn't one of them.
