Poor family. What a selfish man. All because he didn't get his own way

[scallopsrgreat]

Oh god that's awful. Not surprising at all. But still awful.

I think it is significant (but probably won't be raised at the inquest) that he shot his wife and daughter but not his sons.

[Soubriquet]

Yes. Sad really

[Prawnofthepatriarchy]

At least nobody's saying what a lovely bloke he is, which is what normally happens when a man murders his family.

[Soubriquet]

They did when it first happened

He was such a nice bloke. Completely out of character

Or 3 murdered at the pool!!

[Groovee]

Those poor boys! It must be awful to know your father shot your mum and sister. What a tragic situation that The mum was unable to leave and start a new life.

[Soubriquet]

I know

My town is really coming off badly at the moment aren't they?

Warren Free, Katy and Liz, these two, body of a woman on the train tracks (reason Unknown yet) AND a bloke was jumped outside a Chinese and died of his injuries

[scallopsrgreat]

Yes absolutely terrible for them .

They do seem to very supportive of their mother and sister and know exactly who to blame from the statement they made.

What a complete and total abusive little shit Lance Hart was.

[Queenoftheblues]

It looks to me he was particularly angry at one of the sons for defending his mum, the suicide note was aimed at the son, so the revenge was very calculated to hurt everyone and put blame on another male.

[scallopsrgreat]

YY Queenoftheblues. The fact the 'note' was 12 pages speaks volumes. Narcissist. Psychopath.

[LumpySpacedPrincess]

I remember when this first broke and the speculation was that he was a decent bloke driven over the edge. Just awful.

[Queenoftheblues]

Yes the decent bloke driven over the edge scenario drives me nuts. This coward was another loser who couldn't comprehend how she could walk away under her own steam. His logic was another man (his son) helped her. I'm glad he's dead. Don't think I want to hear another trial that focuses on his depression blah blah blah.

[AdoraBell]

What scollats said. If I had my way his grave would say -

Shot wife and daughert, but left sons alone. Then shot himself to avoid justice . Where lies an Utter coward.

[Felascloak]

Yes scallops. They read some of it on the news yesterday. Total psychopath.

[Kidnapped]

"The court also heard how Charlotte's brother Ryan had bought their mum a phone and kept it a secret from Lance".

How sad that is. Ryan obviously trying his best to help his mum.
