20.Rene and Sebastian, who are bitter enemies, engaged in a gunfight. In the ensuing battle, Rene killed Sebastian with a shot to the head. In the criminal case for Murder filed against Rene, the heirs of Sebastian failed to establish funeral expenses due to the inadequacy of the evidence.

Discuss. 20.Rene and Sebastian, who are bitter enemies, engaged in a gunfight. In the ensuing battle, Rene killed Sebastian with a shot to the head.
