They don’t really mention what kind of “conspiracy theories” caused this, sounds more like they felt anxious and depressed about the general state of the world. Or maybe it’s just general “government bad” and “deep state” stuff.
Also,…
>The boy was in a coma but has now recovered from his serious injuries. He has no memory of that day, investigators say.
How horrible to survive a mass suicide where your whole family dies and tries to kill you too, now this boy is all alone. At least he doesn’t remember it, I think it would be even more traumatic if he did.
How do I get to know this information from bbc and not from a swiss newspaper? I don’t like how journalism works in Switzerland, i have the feeling thag often times the news get polished to make looo that there are no problems here.
