Neko further stated that no form of betrayal or suspicion could justify taking another person’s life.

“No suspicion, no betrayal, no anger should ever justify murder. Ever. A life has been lost. A family is shattered. Another girl who went to work to earn a living will never return home,” he said.

He described the incident as more than just a domestic dispute, saying it reflected a broader societal problem that required urgent attention.

“This is not just a ‘domestic issue’ anymore — it is a national alarm on unchecked violence, jealousy and impunity inside our households. We must confront this rot before more innocent lives are buried in silence,” he said.
