One thought on “Murdered deaf person’s case adjourned”
It is sad and yet true but and then no sane person would harm a person with disability for no reason. There has to be a reason for such actions. Defendant, yes, has no right to do that to a person with disability. Like wise even the person with disability has no right to cause a harm or does it justify that he/she with a disability can cause harming or to be harmed. It is interesting to know what actually happened as this story tells just a tip of the incident and does not really make sense as to many questions arise.
