bundled up he had a scarf on he had gloves on  he had a hoodie sweatshirt to keep warm he is pleased to see a familiar face hi Auntie she rolled down her window and said  come on into my warm car and I'll give you a ride and he wouldn't have thought anything of it  she was a trusted adult familiar face in his small eight-year-old world and he went with  her willingly I just need to pick something from my apartment okay Vijay breaks amina's  heart now she wants to break his she wanted to do somet

hing to him that would hurt him so very  deeply and yet still keep him close to her [Music] the trusting boy has no idea  what lies behind amina's smile he struck him on the head with a blunt instrument she then took the drawstrings from his hood of  his jacket no and strangled him to death [Music] [Music] Amina murdered her lovers  nephew out of Revenge period a callous act committed against a defenseless boy by all accounts this was a wonderful little  kid his father said he was bright in scho

ol he was full of energy he was kind he  was just a terrific little boy [Music] what eight-year-olds are indisputably is innocent  they have never offended anybody in a great manner so they never deserve the kind of  Fate that Rajesh suffered [Music] Amina dumps the body in a symbolic place  her secret meeting spot with Vijay [Music] I don't think Amina took any pleasure in  killing rashish it was a means to an end the purpose was to hurt BJ [Music] by late afternoon A Little Boy Lost is found p

olice gathered around they assumed that it had been a hit and run because  there was motor oil on the jacket [Music] they noticed an indentation around  the child's neck that indicated that he had been strangled by a  cord of some kind [Music] of murder devastates Vijay he returns to  Canada without his new wife and when he got there he was met by Amina and immediately  the two of them started up their relationship for Amina their reunion isn't about sex she wants to see vijay's hurt when she  t

ells him the truth about rajesh's murder he said I did it but they'll  never be able to prove it [Music] destroyed by her confession DJ goes to the police Amina denies everything but  her story keeps changing sheet says at first that she was at work then she  begins to even cast suspicion towards her husband she was clearly telling different stories the Breakthrough for police owned in amina's car she has left a trail a forensic evidence covered glass fragments some  yellow paint chips and there

were also these fibers that were from  the scarf that he had worn on his neck in the end please tie Rajesh and chadhari  together and put him in her car [Music] Amina choudary is convicted of first-degree murder February 19 th sentenced to prison with a minimum of 25 years Amina killed to get vijay's  attention and to hurt him only a psychopath could do that and I think Amina  is very narcissistic she wanted what she wanted the bars Amina doesn't wither she blooms the PostScript to the story is

unbelievable  as the crime Amina was able to meet another prisoner at a prison function he was a convicted  murderer she was a convicted murderer and the two of them were allowed not only to get married but  they were able to have three children together but the child killer the dare her own children  they are protected by Welfare Services [Music] who was now having children behind  bars I think that was astonishing Amina Chaudhary is released from prison in 2012. when these Deadly Women lashed

out it was Lethal  Ellie nestler protected her son by being judged and jury Gene Harris loved her man to death  and Amina Chaudhary killed a child to teach her lover a lesson these deadly women allowed  their emotions to rule they dished out vengeance [Music] thank you [Music]
