What is with joking about a subject in which a woman was axed to death?

It's called black humor. It's what people do when things are too horrible to cope with normally and one is sick of the platitudes about how awful, terrible, sad, tragic, etc. something is. Relieves the stress. You should hear paramedics sometime.
