1. split

   To break is to divide sharply, with severance of particles, as by a blow or strain. To burst is to break by pressure from within, as a bombshell, but it is used also for the result of violent force otherwise exerted; as, to burst in a door, where the door yields as if to an explosion. To crush is to break by pressure from without, as an egg-shell. To crack is to break without complete severance of parts; a cracked cup or mirror may still hold together. Fracture has a somewhat similar sense. In a fractured limb, the ends of the broken bone may be separated, tho both portions are still retained within the common muscular tissue. A shattered object is broken suddenly and in numerous directions; as, a vase is shattered by a blow, a building by an earthquake. A shivered glass is broken into numerous minute, needle-like fragments. To smash is to break thoroughly to pieces with a crashing sound by some sudden act of violence; a watch once smashed will scarcely be worth repair. To split is to cause wood to crack or part in the way of the grain, and is applied to any other case where a natural tendency to separation is enforced by an external cause; as, to split a convention or a party. To demolish is to beat down, as a mound, building, fortress, etc.; to destroy is to put by any process beyond restoration physically, mentally, or morally; to destroy an army is so to shatter and scatter it that it can not be rallied or reassembled as a fighting force. Compare REND.

1. Manana Tsatieva:

   We wanted to build a bright future in Germany, to have a safer life and to be together again as a family.'' It wasn't to be.Shortly after arriving in Germany in 2016, Manana Tsatieva learned that Zelimkhan Khangoshvili had another wife in Ukraine who was pregnant. Manana Tsatieva and Zelimkhan Khangoshvili -- who had been married for two decades -- split and had minimal contact from that point on.

Now his murder, and the emerging evidence that alleges links to Russian security services, have prompted many to ask why the German government has been uncharacteristically quiet on the matter.Since the killing, no German authorities have contacted Khangoshvili's family to.

He still took my baby from me.
