Murder/Suicide

A man murders his wife and gets away with it because of lack of evidence. Then he murders his two young sons before committing suicide. I often wish a severely damaged human being like this man would first commit suicide before harming anyone else.

I really do pity this man. His life must have been a living hell for him to do the things he did. But, living hell or not, I will never understand how someone can murder their own innocent children. It's almost as though he was trying to obliterate any and every part of himself.

I don't agree that suicide is wrong for everyone. It makes no sense to me for someone with a painful, terminal illness to be forced to continue living and suffering longer than necessary. But mental turmoil can be treated and made tolerable so that course should be pursued rather than allowing yourself to accept suicide as your only answer.

No one will ever know for sure if this man killed his wife but all signs point to it. I suppose he was unable to continue living with his sins...but why would he murder his little boys? Only a hopelessly diseased mind could contemplate doing this.

His father is another piece of work. He is also obviously mentally disturbed so who knows what kind of household his son grew up in...and maybe that could be part of the reason this man felt the need to murder his own children, to put an end to a bad legacy. We'll never know.

Child services did what they could to protect those little boys but their father's insanity proved too devious to save them.

My grandmother used to say that heaven and hell are right here on earth and, at times like this, I tend to agree with her.
