Deserved or not (for the very reason this case illustrates. The man who was killed was wrongly killed).
I was thinking the same. The man who ran away did not pose any threat or danger to neither the wife nor the husband.
The husband acted out of pure rage. The wife acted maybe out of fear of her husband. What she did was very wrong. That four letter word caused huge problems.
