Three children in BC, Canada murdered by their dad

[BigMouthDucky]

I live in BC, and this happened earlier this year. A mother of 3 came home to find all of her children had stabbed to death while in the care of their father, who had a history of violence and mental illness. Needless to say, the entire province was shaken by this tragedy. The father hid in the mountains just out of town for several months while the police investigated. The good news is, he was found by hunters and has since been charged of murder.

I remember reading about this earlier this year, this is heartbreaking! It makes me wonder if the mother knew the father was mentally unstable, and if so, why would she leave her children in his care? To me, if she did, then she should also have to do time. Not to the extent the father should, but if she did know he was unstable, then she should do time for trusting them in his care. Rest in Peace Kaitlynne, Max, and Cordon ...you're angels now along with Judith. <3

yes, i wonder about that too, what the mother was thinking leaving them with that psycho.. i guess she trusted him enough at the time.

I just wonder if that might have been part of a court order like in a divorce settlement.

There were many times when Maria left Judith alone with Jozsef. I think it's that they really dont think that Dad's would actually be capable of commiting such a horrible crime.

I agree, It's hard to believe anyone would do such a horrible thing..
