Shiesh   13 #1 Posted August 27, 2008 Story Here  Just been watching the article on the news...sounds really weird!!  So could it be suicide/murder or could it be arson??  I suppose it will all come out in the end but the police think the fire was burning for hours before the alarm was raised because the house was so remote and the fire broke out possibly during the night!  I hope they're all safe but it sounds like it could be more sinister!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
teddie   10 #2 Posted August 27, 2008 Why would he have slaughtered his own horses, then killed the family? More likely a case of some revenge for non payments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Shiesh   13 #3 Posted August 27, 2008 I know so it might not be !!  He was also a victim to a blackmail campaign in 2006 and his company appears to have recently gone into liquidation so lots of areas to be looked into! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bonny   10 #5 Posted August 27, 2008 Said on the news that the entrance had been blocked to slow down the firebrigade response - sounds deliberate. Remains to be seen if it was by the owner or someone else. Luxury cars in the garage destroyed, 3 horses dead - I just hope the family are ok.

Shiesh   13 #7 Posted August 30, 2008 Two as yet unidentified bodies found in the house!!  Reports state he was well in debt and murder/suicide still looks as likely as any 'grudge' arson attack from others.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Swan_Vesta   11 #8 Posted August 30, 2008 My money's on the two bodies belonging to the wife and daughter. Yer man's gone postal, shot them both, torched the house and will either be found swinging from a tree or on the run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just my opinion, of course  StarSparkle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bizzle   10 #11 Posted August 30, 2008 How very sad. I have been following this story in the papers yet cant seem to understand why he would would kill his own family. It sound like a very bad knightmare.  RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
StarSparkle   10 #12 Posted August 30, 2008 How very sad. I have been following this story in the papers yet cant seem to understand why he would would kill his own family. It sound like a very bad knightmare. RIP  It's absolutely horrific to think of, but from what I understand, it seems that some men are so controlling and disturbed that they don't really see their families as separate from them, in some strange way. It's like their family is literally like some sort of extension of the husband/father, and that in a way, he maybe doesn't even see them as separate people - but almost as objects belonging to himself.  It is obviously a completely mad and deranged way to think - but how else can you account for the fact that some parents do kill their children before killing themselves?  It's like in their sick mind they see their children as their property, that they literally OWN them.  Horrific.  StarSparkle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
