Man jumps from balcony with his kids

[Northerner]

sad

Doesn't say here but I heard on the radio the Mum was threatening to leave him.

What a twat

I remember him from years ago. Surprised to read about him on the news, but in view of other problems in his family, I suspect there is some mental instability. Makes me feel very grateful for my own normal family.

"Appearing on national television, Panayotis Spatharakis, Director of the Heraklion City General Hospital in Crete, said: "I feel that, once he recovers and understands what he has done, he should commit suicide.""

Do you think the comment from the greek guy is a bit of a language thing? Not 'should' as in 'I think he ought to' but as in 'is likely to want to'?

I don't think he should get away so easily by commiting suicide, he needs to face what he's done. That's more than enough punishment.
