Cassandra said her husband shot her five times after she asked for a divorce. Her children and a neighbour escaped the house during the attack, while she was later rushed to hospital for treatment. She said the bullets missed major organs, allowing her to survive. While she was recovering, her husband reportedly attempted to take his own life and was placed on life support. As his next of kin, Cassandra had to decide whether to withdraw life support after doctors found no brain activity. She said she prayed for the strength to forgive him before signing the paperwork and allowing his family to arrange his funeral.
