I came to the realization that letting someone go and not stringing them along comes from LOVE. People who are cheating like this man do no love the other person, they're not looking out for that person's best interest, that's why cheaters cheat and don't just break up, they don't care about that other person like they think they do.

@@casualSimRacer3312 You forgot that his father literally gave him an ultimatum, if he wanted to inherit anything from him, he needed to stay with her. If that didn't happen, i believe there's a good chance he'd just divorce her. A greedy person like him will choose to kill his wife or his father, and he chose the wife because he already has a mistress and didn't want to spend more money on her.

Jayde was my teacher... And I can truly say that she was kindhearted, well-respected, and my favourite teacher. I moved over to another school not too long after being her student, and saw her a few years later (I never knew she had married) and greeted her with an enthusiastic "Hello Miss Inggs!". She asked me how I was doing and we had a little chat. A few months later I was in class when a classmate asked me if I'd heard she disappeared. I was completely gutted, and kster that day another teacher just casually mentioned that her body was found. I burst out crying. She didn't deserve the pain, she didn't deserve those frightening last moments. She would have gladly given anyone the clothes off her own back. RIP Miss Inggs

[@TeaCup1940]

In this case he did not think it was easier. He thought if he divorces her, he would lose the inheritance. So economically speaking for him it was more rentable for her to die. He really thought he couldn't pull this off and he could have, if he would have hired a competent hitman that would have used a mask for instance when going to the ATM or that would not have used the ATM, or that would have killed her without the motive of robbery, but would have instead made it look like it was a ritual killing or something similar, or a sexual abuse killing. Would have been easier to stage and much more believable since those things unfortunately happen often and specially in South Africa.

This is one of the best true crime channels out there for several reasons: from conception to posting these videos are produced with sensitivity, tact, respect, professionalism, and with an eye for victim-oriented heartfelt storytelling without being trite or sappy; it is biased from an “everyday person” perspective with a true fascination for crime across the world - Adrian has started from areas familiar to him but evidence of him branching out to different cultures and geographical destinations make his channel intriguing and diverse in scope, and I’m curious to see where each video will take us; his delivery is personal yet respectful, heartfelt yet factual. His direct narrator-like approach let’s us see a little of his own amiable personality which makes the telling of the victim’s stories ever more relatable. This is all in contrast to almost all other true crime channels. Thank you Adrian for your time and dedication to stories that need telling outside of the courts, prisons and media.

The way he humanizes victims of crime at the end is another thing I love about his videos. We dive deep into these murder cases, and with our fascination we sometimes forget. These true crime stories are not just stories, they’re real and so are the victims.

People are sick man. Wanting to have your wife, who hasn’t done anything at all, killed is so insane. Sometimes there’s volatile couples and lots of resentment so you can kinda see how it can escalate to murder but this case is a whole different thing. That poor woman. I hope they throw him under the jail. She deserved so much more. Just get a divorce, or how about don’t marry someone when you’re already having an affair before the marriage even starts. Good grief
