It certainly is, especially when you see there was an order of protection against him.
Some men do not deal with rejection by a woman very well; they are enraged by it.
It seems that there are some men who seem to think they own the woman and have the mentality that if they can't have her, no one can. They'll kill her before giving her up and not being able to control her.
Meanwhile, other men can't figure out why women's rights are a thing. Go figure.
Maybe it's because women don't like being used as punching bags and treated like property.
There are also some women who are attracted to “bad boys”, for whatever reason. Maybe they think a dude with a lot of tattoos, shaved head, and big muscles is somehow more masculine, more viral, more testosterone. The majority of convicts fit this description. They are vicious animals but still are able to attract women.
