I offered him two pills as a choice - one was harmless while the other was extremely poisonous and toxic, and he chose poison. Alas, it was a matter of time before justice was served. In his final moments, I showed him the wedding ring from Lucy’s finger, to remind him of the pain and suffering he had inflicted on her in her own final hours.
