It's a swift and stark end, and as I stand there looking at her lifeless body, a complex tide of emotions washes over me. There is a sense of justice for the innocent child she killed, a crime she so callously covered up with the help of her journalist ex-boyfriend.Although he wasn’t directly involved in the crime, his complicity in hiding it makes him a partner in her guilt.
