Horrific

Disgrace to humanity. What vile, vile things.

I knew the details were murky but fucking hell.

Those poor poor children! Disgusting!

Shocking
And they were half siblings!

I heard this on the radio on the way home. Was very odd how hush hush it all was when it happened. Now we know why!

That's what they were afraid of Sandy their secret getting out.
So they murdered them

Had to hide at work and have a cry about this, I just can’t comprehend why she did this, the children must have been so frightened

I saw this on the news and thought it sounded grim but now I've read the whole story OMFG!
I hope the other children are now being looked after and getting all the help possible.

Can someone please give a vague idea? Don't want to click. Guess it's some sort of child abuse?

I turned the TV off at home. My partner got annoyed and made me turn it back on. Then he realised why. Horrific

oh my god

@managedmis, half siblings gave birth to children and then tried to murder them all.

Succeeded in killing two

Those poor kids, how do the survivors move on?

managedmis 2 children were murdered by their parents, and the parents were half siblings. I assume they were scared their secret would be found out and the children would be taken away. There were 4 younger children

This wasn't out in the boonies it's slap bang in the middle of a built up estate.
Six kids, well four spectacularly fucked up ones now.....
I can't believe it.

Those poor, poor children, what an awful, sad and short life. I hope their younger siblings are being cared for and can eventually come to terms with what's happened.

I doubt you can get over your Mum and Dad trying to drown you in the bath.
Two of the kids saw their brothers being suffocated with bin bags.

Just why?
Fucks sake.

Awful. Poor children. How could you kill your children? I find it hard to fathom that you could be so desperate to conceal your inappropriate relationship with your sibling that you could murder your children, product of the relationship.

I still don't understand why they did it. Especially the violent and brutal way they did it.
I feel sorry for the 4 left behind traumatised for life, especially the one they tried to drown! Things are never going to be the same for them again. How can you trust anyone else in life when your own parents tried to you kill you.

My God :(

IIRC when it happened there was a quite a large media black out and it was reported 2 teens had died.
I see now why and those remaining 4 children will have a lifetime of dealing with this. And I suppose also due to the sensitive nature of the defendants relationship to each other.

Prison sense neck is correct IMO but there will never be justice in cases like these

How horrific. How can people be that sick?!

Why is the news concentrating on the mum when the dad was just as culpable? Genuine question have I missed something?
