Murder/Suicide?

a family from the UK who recently moved to Gibralter have been wiped out including a six week old baby!

Reading between the lines, one of the parents and I'm assuming the father, killed them then himself, how could anyone murder their children?

I suppose anyone who could kill themself, is capable of anything, transcending logical explanation.

Is this definite Honey? I heard a bit about the family being shot, but hadn't heard this latest information.

Quite easily, they do not look on it as 'murder' more a case of they no longer wish to be here so take their children/spouse with them to keep them safe in a cruel world.

Re: Murder/Suicide?

Its no wonder that people who are suicidal or have MH issues hide them.

The world is so judgemental.
Sometimes when a person has MH issues the world isnt a safe place and they honestly beleive that they are sparing their loved ones suffering.
Sometimes these people cannot grasp the severity of the problem and they have often been let down by medical professionals in their treatment .

Of course there are jealous people who just have the attitude 'if I cant have them no one will' and kill their children/partner but even they have MH issues of a kind.

The whole 'they are sickos' attitude is exactly what stops the taboo around MH and suicide from being broken.
Please think before judging it can happen to anyone. How would you feel if it were your loved ones?

What a nice compassionate post Cass. There is still a stigma with mental illness for some which is terribly sad in this day and age.
