Although I have no evidence to suggest anything in this particular case, there does seem to be a pattern of very violent and devastating murder/suicides involving parents and their children if there is a divorce/custody case.
People lose their minds in divorce/custody battles, try and extract maximum damage of a former spouse or partner and things just go south and become violent/deadly.
I really think it's important for legal teams to actually be open and honest upfront. People who try and go for the jugular, promise to fight tooth and nail for no visitation rights, take every last nickle from their former partner and more should really be cautioned on the risks.
These type of tragic cases are happening a lot in Canada and I can't help but think that family breakdowns and long lasting court battles and fight till the death mentality may be playing a significant role here.
Just brutal for all involved.
