Remember correctly, who's the murderer, a jealous demon 77 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.960 by the name of Asthma Daeus who strangled husbands on 78 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:27.719 their wedding nights. 79 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.560 Well, judging by the verdict, just now make you beck 80 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.120 with this and the Emadus whoever you call him, in 81 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:33.800 this same. 82 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.520 Right here, Thank you God, thank you.
