Both parties were having tears. The family of Banks got relief and the family of Hughes expressed emotions of grief and distress. The news spread all over the country rapidly. The father of Banks pointed towards the sky as if he was satisfied with God’s justice and thanked Him. “It means that she can rest. That it’s all over with Justice”.
