We dont know what was going on in his head.
We dont know any of the facts at the moment - and may never know. Forensics and police will have to make informed judgements based on evidence found and autopsy results - but may never know the real truth.
The media, especially newspapers, have a tendancy to make things up as they go along - to make the story *spicier*, *sicker*, *more exciting* - when really some guy went totally nuts (whether it was mental health, physical health or emotional wellbeing in general that went into overdrive) and killed his family and then himself - if he did do it.
Innocent until proven guilty.
And as for calling someone a coward when they commit suicide after apparently killing wife and son - we dont *KNOW* how he felt - HOW?? How do we *KNOW* what was going through his mind? We dont. The torment must have been unbelievable to have resorted to such a terrible and tragic crime.
Please stop surmising until you are aware of the truth - then make your judgements.
Hope they all rest in peace - ALL of them! And bless the families that are still alive and have to go through the pain of grief, loss and shock.

A calculated double homicide that takes place over the course of an entire weekend is not rage. Insanity? Maybe. Psychopathic? Sure. But not rage.
Why do you keep acting like he may not have done it? He did it. He was in the house sending text messages from his & her phones to co-workers AFTER she was dead. The only questions left are why he did and what caused him to snap.
And as for innocent until proven guilty... That really only works for the living. He's dead so he'll never stand trial. All we have to go on are the facts & what the cops say about it & both, the facts & the cops, are saying he did it.
Suicide is a cowardly act. Period. It doesn't matter what circumstances lead to it, in my eyes, it's still a coward's way out of dealing with the consequences of one's actions.
