  2. Obviously they both need their heads testing “play fight multiple stab wounds” jog the actual on, if the mum was present then I hope she was thoroughly questioned as there could be a whole lot more to this than meets the eye

  6. I had parents like this, and have known some couples like this. They will never, ever see anything wrong with what they did, nor will they feel any remorse — so throwing the book at them is the only course of action imo

  8. Did he learn to play fight in the Yakuza? This is terrible. Poor girl.

  10. I’m paranoid about holding a knife while my kid is in the kitchen just in case I somehow drop it and it falls on him. How do you accidentally throw a knife with such force and trajectory that it goes 11cm into someone’s heart?

  11. 100% guaranteed this is a domestic abuse situation and the family have been living with this man’s violence and control for years.

    Not unusual for the wife in these situations to stand by the man as the control and fear goes bone deep. Most likely scenario is that in a year or two when it finally sinks in that he really isn’t getting out of prison and he really can’t hurt her anymore she will end the relationship and acknowledge what really happened.

  12. Why are the mirror refering to a play fight?

    He murdered his daughter and made up some bullshit about a play fight.

    She is standing by her daughters murderer.

  13. Where does a woman go with children and no money. The police and social services are fucking useless.

  14. Actually reading the article (I know it’s controversial) it does sound like it could have been a freak accident.

    The dad was drunk and high, he and his daughter were mucking about in the kitchen, he mistakenly grabbed a knife instead of kitchen tongs and didn’t realise his mistake until after stabbing her.

    No history of domestic abuse, no motive for the crime.

    All that said, a manslaughter charge is fair as he’s, even by accident, killed her by acting in a stupid manner.

  15. I’m fairly sure if there’s a knife involved, that’s no longer a play fight :S 

  16. Even if the actual explanation was “tragic accident while playfighting *with an eleven-inch knife*”, he should be in jail anyway. My god.

  18. I can just tell by that stupid face he’s the dumbest piece of shit, useless no good loser, that sits around wasting everyones time and he knows it so he’s mad about everything cause god forbid he’s has a inch of self reflection. Its so sad that hell doesnt exist.

  19. They quite clearly intended to kill her or didn’t care either way

    Death sentence to both
