My heart bleeds when I read about men and women killing their loved ones. My question remains " will we ever stop mourning for our sisters and brothers?, things happening nowadays will make someone to loose hope in future. The number of passion killings cases is increasing by leaps and bounds day by day. At first the two partners live happily together, sharing jokes and doing things together believing that their love will never ends but when relationship turns sour, one can make a decision of ending one's life.
In relationships there are always ups and downs but the partner have to cope with this situation. Poor communication, unfaithfulness, break-ups, insecurity, financial problems and lack of understanding is the major factors that contribute passion killings. The unemployment rate is very high, some women can't cope with the poverty anymore these make them get in the relationship simply because they want someone to protect and provide them with their everyday necessities so they become dependent for men.

Men are getting loans everyday and spend this money traveling abroad, buying latest luxury cars, phones, expensive clothes and alcohol for him and his loved one. As times goes on, the debt correctors and landlords are asking for their money. A woman will then decide to move on with her life, the man get stressed.He then start thinking out of the box, thinking of all the money he invested to keep their relationship working . These has broke him heart into million pieces. All days and nights he is asking himself "will I ever find love again?, he will start searching his former lover with a purpose of killing her and then commit suicide.
It could be better if partner seek for psychological help, if there is no solution they can talk to a trustworthy friend, family member, pastor or social workers to keep their life worth of living. I strongly believe that talking to someone or reporting any gender based violence case to the police or social workers could help the partners who are undergoing any life-threatening situation. The government also need to introduce psychology lessons in communities, schools,and churches these will help people to understand life better. .
