The same narration is reported from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), however, in it are these words: That man said: The other day, this woman began to speak ill of you and showed disrespect towards you, so I killed her. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bear witness, all of you, that the blood of this woman is wasted." Imam Daraqutni has stated that from this, the Sunnah is established that while passing a judgment, a ruler may make people witnesses regarding his own self.
