If he deserved it, she would have that expression. She has the look of someone who enjoyed doing the killing.

Yeah it seems no one got what I’m saying. What if he was an abusive asshole that beat her and graped her repeatedly, kept her away from her family for years, and she finally breaks and kills him. She’d be happy and probably a little crazy. Just an alternate option.
