Another selfish bastard kills himself - and his two dcs as well, to spite his wife

[Moomin]

How utterly utterly heartrending.

I know, just unspeakably awful.

Their poor, poor mother.

How sad Those poor children. Can't imagine the awful pain thier mum must be feeling.

this kind of story just makes me very very sad.
I do not understand the mentality of a man who does this

i must say i jumped to the same conclusion when i heard the story on the radio but to be fair, nowhere is it written that he did it to spite his wife. don't know why the photo of him in judo gear makes me as well. that poor family, though.

I think we'll probably never know why he did it. Revenge, depression, bastardness, the facts remain: a mother has lost two beloved children. And a grandmother has lost her son and grandchildren. It's heartrendingly awful and my whole spirit goes out to that mother, what she must feel tonight to have had two health children taken from her.

Horrendous

yes, tribpot... all i'm saying is that the OP has presented speculation as fact, that's all.

How disgusting, those poor babies and the mother left behind

A very, very sad story. He must have been very unhappy and not thinking straight at all. My sympathies go to the mother of the children.

JUst been on the news - neighbour says the dad was saying only last week that he'd rather burn the house rather than give it up to his wife. They were divorcing

and yes, I feel like speculating; it's made me so sad and angry. I will retract it if I'm proved wrong.

Whether revenge, spite or whatever, there is absolutely no reason on this earth that can excuse what this man has done.

We don't know the full story about why they were divorcing so we shouldn't really pass judgements.

Maybe he thinks he will be with his kids forever in the next life.

why the hell not??!! two children been murdered and the police have said they are looking for no-one else in connection with the deaths. How on earth can anyone justify why he has done this?

No, of course I totally agree about there being no excuse for what was done. How could there possibly be? But this appalling crime has been committed and the mother must live with this now every day, it's heart-breaking

It's evil, NOTHING excuses it.

I feel utterly enraged by this.

I was reacting to wotulookinat's post of 18:15:21

You can't justify what he's done at all, but he surely wasn't stable. We don't know the background though.

I could be sick reading that.

Just cant begin to imagine what that poor mother is going through right now.

OK, but do you know what - I have absolutely no interest in considering his motives / reasons / whatever. My heart goes out to the mother and the two lives cut short through absolutely no fault of their own.

Utterly, utterly heartbreaking

It's possible that he acted through causes rather than motives or reasons -- i.e. that he was ill.

I feel extremely sorry for the whole family.

Yes you have to feel immense sympathy for the mother of the children.
