"better"? Rape or Robbery;-p

To be raped and murdered or robbed and murdered.... hmmmm.... which would people prefer to read?

I am not trivialising the matter.. I am just trying to show how words can lesson the actions. (If you understand my drift).

Its been interesting to see how much emphasis has been put on the money that was supposedly taken from her... In one of the articles it was stated that the money she had on her was found in his possession.

How do they know the money was even there or how much it was?
