Norwich deaths: Girls died of knife wounds https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-68079209

I’m so sick of reading about these men. How can we stop this? I feel utterly ruined by it all.

These comments are ridiculous- quoting stories of women killers from America cos that's the only ones you can find as if that balances it out?!!
Most of the time when women are killed it doesn't even make national news cos it's so common! I remember finding a story buried underneath loads of other "more important" stuff that a woman's burnt body had been found by the side of the road and they couldn't identify it - that's horrendous! But so common it's not worth a proper headline.
I would agree that men also kill other men at ridiculous rates, and boys killing boys is another terrifying problem, but women killing anyone is nowhere near as common.

The reason the case in the OP is newsworthy is also that it's rare.

Families being murdered by those in the family IS rare, thankfully.

Yes, more men than women commit these crimes. That is undeniably true. It is also true that women have committed these crimes.

To put it bluntly, a triple murder is big news, a homicide is just news.

Yes, some women kill their children but it is so much rarer than when men do it. You won't even be aware of many cases, they don't make the news.
