Only human

I don't know if you heard what happened to Ram Singh, the allegedly leader of 5 men who attacked a girl and her companion inside a bus in Deli on the 16 of December, apparently he hung himself in his cell. The thing is that he wasn't alone in that cell, however no one saw de deed...
Now, reason tells me it is wrong to kill someone with our own hands, after all we have a legal system for that and I believed he was still waiting to go to court.
Perhaps he felt guilty and killed himself...
Yet one way or the other, I find myself unable to feel sorry for the man, which actually irritates me, for I should be able to find him innocent 'till a court proves him otherwise and therefore feel sorry for his fate.
Nonetheless I can't forget the cases of domestic vilence and rape which are so common in my country while victims keep silence as a consequence of fear and shame.
Even public figures are involved in cases like this.
 Last year it was an ex- keeper from a major football team from my country who was acused of rapping his wife's daughters, this week another football payer was acused of beating and rapping his ex-wife, not only during marriage, but after it was over also.
It took years for any of these victims to come forward and finally tell what was going on, maybe that is why I find them guilt 'till proof otherwise instead of the other way around.
Should I apolagise for not being perfect?
Maybe, but I never wished to be perfect, only human.
