Bored housewife killed due to Facebook deception

A bored housewife, mother of three, posing as a young unmarried girl on Facebook had a three year online relationship with a younger man. Recently they decided to meet in person at a public place, for the very first time. On discovering that he had been deceived, the young man killed the woman at the spot in a fit of rage, and then attempted suicide.

 There is no way to verify Facebook profiles or ascertain the intentions of the person they represent. A sixteen year old may actually be much older, married, of a different sex, in a different country and may have ill minded intentions. It is preferable not to trust random requests for friendship, and certainly not to the extent, where one starts sharing sexual chats, pictures or videos.
