Noela Rukundo, a Burundian woman living in Melbourne, Australia got the shock of her life when she got to know her husband wanted her dead. He had hired gunmen for the job, but the gunmen reportedly found it unprincipled to kill women and children.
They demanded extortion money from the husband and let her go after two days of captivity.When her husband arranged for a funeral and it was only towards the end of the ceremony that she walked upto him and stood right in front. “Surprise! I’m still alive!” she said.
Interestingly, the gunman handed her enough proof to put her husband behind bars: a memory card containing recorded phone conversations with him regarding the murder and receipts for the Western Union money transfers.
