Bloke Murders His Family Over Debts?
Discussion
One of my businesses arranges Trust Deeds for people with unsecured debt problems. (In England Trust deeds are called IVAs.) It basically involves an Insolvency Practitioner from an accountancy firm making a set arrangement with creditors to accept so much in the £1 over a 3 year period. It creates a serious reduction in the monthly debt servicing requirement, and after 3 years the debt is wiped out. Apparently it's very helpful and a major stress reducer and a viable option to bankruptcy for many people which doesn't leave much of a negative imprint once its 3 year period has expired.
Debt's not worth killing over.

I can only surmise how terribly a man might be feeling in those circumstances, and wonder if he was, realistically, severely depressed, and if that mentally ill, then rational thought might escape him, which would then lead to the conclusion that killing everyone to end all the suffering might, in his view, be a "good" approach to take.
A tragedy.
A tragedy.

Agreed. A tragedy.
Tragic.
Suspect with the money worries the credit card bill drove him to kill the wife, then the realisation that the kids would be put into care was too much. Poor little things. I do hope they didn't suffer.
Given how much tax-payers money is wasted on the underclass, we really must be able to do better in cases like this.

Apparently, Fordingbridge now has a homicide rate eight times higher than the national average, due to this sad event and the Burgate House murders of 1986.
That's only because 4 families live in Fordingbridge. 
It's a really nice place, though. Would love to live there. Bit of a b
d of a commute, though. And for some reason, pubs go quiet when I walk in there. Especially with an English girl on my arm. In fact, I'm suddenly wondering if the Chinese takeaway on the "high street" got firebombed shortly after my weekend there because they thought their son was stealing all the local girls.Edited by ShadownINja on Wednesday 28th July 21:59

I think some of the locals were exacting revenge for World War II. "Chinese, japanese...what's the difference?". You should kill a few jews as revenge for the sinking of the Titanic.d of a commute, though. And for some reason, pubs go quiet when I walk in there. Especially with an English girl on my arm.

Minor historical fact: Chinese were part of the Allies in WWII.Back to the Murdering Dad(s). At the end of the day, we shouldn't forget that these men have taken innocent lives - entirely their choice and only their choice to kill their innocent family members. I suspect they are either bullies or control-freaks, though they appear to be 'loving' people to the outside world - or to people who don't cross them.

Can I just remind you of the indignance and posturing not too long ago concerning a couple jumping off Beachy Head with their child in one rucksack and his toys in another...grumbledoak said:

The circumstances in that case were completely different - the poor child i believe had died from an illness and the parents decided to end both their lives - so that's pretty much suicide. No one died against their own will.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
