    Really a brave child and didn't care if she is now an orphan - presumably her convicted father's family will shun her and she will either have to get into childcare or stay with her deceased mother's parents. What a huge sacrifice she has made to get justice for her mother. She deserves every right minded person's support.

    Children are always innocent and dont know to tell lies.They are present in mind when something goes wrong .Thank God because of childs presence of mind,real culprit could be arrested.It must have been a shock to the child when father kills mother with a axt.Nobody should experience this.
