Make that physical manner.

C.) One is a woman who is unrelated to the sisers.

D.) At some point, there was an accident, which was “not really” caused by the woman.

E.) At some point, the woman defended herself, but not against a fourth person.

F.) At some point, there was a second accident,which directly resulted in the death of one sister and indirectly resulted in the death of the second.
