AIBU to genuinely want to kill someone (*triggering*)

DP is visiting nairobi where an old friend of his is living (also DC's godparent). Friend and his wife have set up a charity to help the kids in the slums - one hot meal a week for kids, plus a school, plus trying to help parents get jobs (eg making things they use for fundraising).

DP visited some of the places today and met a young girl (almost 3) who was raped last week. Her mum was looking for work and her 6 year old brother was tasked with taking himself and the girl home (through kibera slum); she was lured and raped. Both children are obviously very traumatised.

I genuinely don't know what i would do if I met the person who did that. WIBU to wipe him clean from the planet? DP sounded heartbroken telling me; we have a daughter the same age... I don't know that i could ever forgive something like that. Sorry, probably more of a vent than an AIBU. I'm bawling as i write; may have to go and lose myself in something else to take my mind off it...

PS. How can any defense lawyer 'defend' such utterly vile human detrius knowing they have committed such crime?
