..it’s being treated as a domestic incident, Brillo...the 54yr old also has stab wounds and being treated...so maybe self inflicted and a suicide attempt..?...we’ll have to wait for more informatio...


...so very, very sad...

...so very, very sad...A stab wound to the stomach doesn't sound like a suicide attempt - I would say more likely he stabbed her and then panicked and stabbed himself in an attempt to make it look like someone else was involved.

What a horrible story :(

Indeed Ammi. I Can’t imagine what could have led to such an awful incident.

There's been so many violent incidents around here in the past year, it's bizarre. There's been more high profile violent crimes in the past year then I've known in the entirety of my life living in the Black Country.

It's an awful thing to happen, I can't imagine what kind of person could kill their own child in cold blood never mind in such a violent manner. I hope justice is served.

Yes. No way was it a suicide attempt.

Poor little girl :(

[Cal.]

Heartbreaking :(

This is so, so tragic.

I remember reading this article some years ago. Its about why fathers sometimes kill their children.
