In life there are always decisions to be made. There are easy decisions; if you are going out and it's raining, you decide to dress appropiately. If you are hungry, you get something to eat. Simple. There of course more challenging decisions; you dislike your job, so a decision to have a "sick day" is a little more tricky, especially when you're not sick. A decision to nick a pen from work is unlikely to give you much pause for thought, but would you steal a computer? Most probably would not, the incentive of having a free computer weighed up against the possible consequences of prosecution, humiliation and maybe incarceration are enough to deter most. There are those who are prepared to take the risk, to make the poor decision,for the immediate gratification and thrill of getting away with something for nothing.
Admittedly, the human condition is to take the easiest option. if given the option of digging ditches for eight hours a day or watching television for eight hours for the same amount of pay, only the most energetic - or televisual-phobic - of us would opt for the ditches! In these days of consumerism and, until recently, ready credit, many have made the decision to live beyond their means. This is not a conscious decision. Few make purchases on their credit cards thinking "I can't afford this." Generally the human attitude is "it will not happen to me." So with that somewhat myopic approach, many find themselves in debt; a lot of debt.
Mistakes are normal, everybody makes them. There just seems something about financial mistakes, debt creating mistakes, that causes people to make poor decisions. Poor decisions such as borrowing money to service debt, avoiding their creditors, under selling cherished items; killing.
How much money do you have to owe to resort to murder? What price a life? A million pounds perhaps? Ten million? Would you make the decision to kill a stranger for ten million? Would you do it for half a million pounds? You don't know the person, how bad can it be? Plus you end up half a million - less your debt - better off. Bad decision? Would you kill your spouse for that much? Someone you profess to love and cherish? Does money cause that sort of, what can only be termed, madness?
Nisha Patel-Nasri was killed for less than four hundred thousand pounds. By all accounts, she was a lovely person, a credit to the community, a part-time police officer. Her husband, Fadi, had arranged to have her killed so as he could cash in her insurance policy. He had been seeing another woman, leading a double life and managed to acrue vast debts. He is not the first man, or person, to lead a double life and he surely will not be the last, and though his dual life was distasteful, it becomes a mere aside when the story of how he arranged for his wife of a barely three years to be murdered - he supplied a kitchen knife and the keys of their home to his would-be accomplices - just so as he could sell the house and collect the insurance. News items make no reference to how their relationship was; good ,bad or indifferent. There is a some mention of her having thoughts of divorcing him, so perhaps all was not rosy in their relationship. By all accounts, anything of any worth was also in her name, even to the point of underwriting his limo business. Undoubtedly they had money worries. Fadi looked for the easiest solution out of his debt burden. I imagine that if he was thinking that his wife was going to divorce him and leave him destitute, that he felt he had no choice, he had to do something. Unfortunately he made a very poor and callous choice.
In all. there were four men involved - the husband, two men who were to carry out the deed and a getaway driver. For the price of a house and a life insurance policy, four men made very poor decisions. Thankfully they will have plenty of to review those decisions in jail.
