This man said he lost his wife, kids, job and now it looks like he was about to lose his home. Pressure can be a serious mofo, especially if you have all your eggs in one basket. when you see and hear all these men with their women on the side, it's to avoid situations like this.

Be interesting to know of any case where a woman has asked for a divorce and the application was declined, does anyone know what happens if one person says they do not want the divorce? I know the woman can make up nuff stories to get the man out of the house but their must be cases where a divorce is not granted and circumstances mean the two people still have to live in the same house. Somebody must dead.

why is the thread titled 'white on white' crime ?

To parody all the 'black on black' crime reports in the news of course.

Then why the hell didn't he just take his own life?
I have sympathy with anyone whose life situation is so desperate they feel their only option is to end it all. Where I lose it in is when they decide in the process to take others along with them (usually the children or sometimes the spouse). This man wanted to make sure his wife's life would be hell by 'taking out' the kids in the process - him killing himself may not move her he thought. A kind of last ditch, "In-ya-face-b*tch" message.

Foget about 'pressure' and feeling he was about to lose everything. This man wanted to make sure that as well as remove himself from the pain of the situation, he got his wife back good and proper.

By the way Incognito on your statement "when you see and hear all these men with their women on the side, it's to avoid situations like this." Surely you are not being serious with that ridiculous line of argument?

Respect

I know what happened is so tragic but that Rock Music line made me chuckle. Talk about double standards...

i believe here in america we have what you call no fault divorces which means you don't have to have prove anything...just ask..
