What a pity... My sympathy to the relatives of "the woman". The man has been "nursing" this evil intention in his mind before the fateful day, he now used the influence of alcohol to accomplish his intention. He allowed the devil to "support" his evil intention, and the devil assisted him to accomplish it. It is never ordinary.
He also allowed his problems to "overtake" him. I am not judging him am just saying what I feel.
But may we never allow unemployment to lead us into doing wrong things because it will never solve our problems.
