woman killed own children out of anger at hubby

UPDATED Wednesday, 21/02/07, 1:54 AM

read the report from the NST and the star.

the 30 year old mother (the killer!!) had been arrested, and police also detained the father for questioning.

the two boys killed were an 18 years old baby and a 6 years old boy. they were strangled with an electric iron cord.

it seemed that the couple’s relationship had started to strain when the husband voiced his intention of taking a second wife. i wonder why he wanted a second wife. i thought i read that the taking of a second wife is strictly to be done with valid reasons only like when the wife cannot bear children or the wife… cannot perform in bed (right? the latter i mean. i stand corrected). certainly not for ‘gatal’ reason!! if it was for that reason, as a woman, i can understand the wife’s frustration.

the report in NST stated that the wife sent the husband an SMS on sunday evening, asking him to return home, and threatening him that is he did not return, she will kill their children. well the husband only return later, at 11.40pm and when he returned, he look into the children’s bedroom and didn’t suspect anything amiss! he thought the children were sleeping.

anyway investigation revealed that the boys had been dead for at least 12 hours before their bodies were found, which means to say that the wife could have killed the boys before the threatening (to kill the boys) phone call to the husband on sunday evening.

hmm… what does this tells us of the wife? she had already pre-planned the murder and want the husband to bear most of the responsibility of the boys being murdered? well, she lied to the husband (if the boys had already been killed when she told the husband she will killed them if he did not return home).

another thing, though the wife threaten the hubby, the hubby did not return home so i guess the hubby did not take her seriously at all. another thing… i was thinking could he be with his soon to be 2nd wife at that time?… which was what the wife might thought of too! in fact i would have thought that maybe the wife thought of that, that was why she was so angry so murdered the children… but now investigation tell us otherwise.

i really don’t know what went on the woman’s mind to make her resort to such drastic, deadly action – on her own children.

‘suffer the children’. yes, when parents get caught in a fight, the children will suffer. it’s not fair. it’s so sad. ;(

can you believe it?? just as two days ago i made this post on ‘cruel parents‘ about a mother or father or both killing their own children, it happened again. on that post it was more on a parent wanting to commit suicide himself/herself, then decided to kill his/her children too… and mostly it was because of a fight with the spouse (or sometimes poverty).

this time, yes it was a fight. i heard this news on tv3 nightline (the midnight news). it happened near where i stay! in bayan lepas, penang. a woman strangled her two children (if not mistaken, one is 1 yrs old and the other 5 yrs old) just because she was angry that her husband did not come back when she telephoned him to come back.

oh gosh!! can you believe that? tv3 show showed quite a long footage of the incident – showing the house (flat), the police carrying out the dead bodies in bag, and also the mother in a patrol car.

i really wonder what drove the mother to kill her own children. ok it was anger as i mentioned… anger at her husband… but why took it out on the children? is she a bit mental? does she has some psychological problem? had she been feeling depressed or stressed out? no matter what, i find it very very difficult to believe a mother can killed her own children with her bare hands.

my heart went out to the two young innocent children. their lives snuffed out just like that. why? why oh why this sort of thing can happened? adults are suppose to protect children… more so when the adults are their own parents! why did a parent/parents brought children into the world, only to take them out of the world so heartlessly. i’m so angry. i’m so sad. 🙁

the bible, matthew chapter 19, verse 14:
"But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me: for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
