Bad couple of days for young children.

Just thinking the same. Bad couple of days for the good guys generally.

by Ethics? The Gall! Fri 19 Dec 2014, 03:54

another revenge attack for a relationship gone bad? 2 dead in sydney 8 in manoora. but so called domestic violence is not going to get the funds or the media attention or the manpower to make a difference

sorry. ill get off the soapbox now

8!!! Dear God, how farked is the world sometimes???!!!

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 04:03

Is this a goonie rampage?

by lardbucket Fri 19 Dec 2014, 04:04

We're all assuming that the father did this, but it may be that the Mum has flipped.

by JGK Fri 19 Dec 2014, 04:18

Apparently* they are a Torres Strait Islander family.

by lardbucket Fri 19 Dec 2014, 04:18

They mostly are in Manoora.

Cue a big drop in interest from the mainstream media.

That's rubbish, Trev.

A family relative has the surname Thaiday - wonder if they are related to Sam?

possible although what ive read says the mother is in hospital badly wounded. not that that makes it impossible

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 06:02

Ten Nooz says the mother is the only suspect.

by PeterCS Fri 19 Dec 2014, 06:08

Grim.

Answering JGK's question (who would stab a baby?). I can only think someone who had gone entirely demented.

Or else a fanatically devout arsehole. But even IS and Taliban butcher "only" the kids of others, less enlightened than themselves, I think.

by lardbucket Fri 19 Dec 2014, 08:31

this will be a psychotic episode

reminiscent of:

* another bizarre/psychotic 2002 Cairns family murder *

by Bradman Fri 19 Dec 2014, 09:46

Aye.

"watch out for the kadaichi man, boss. im got powerful magic."

Wouldn't surprise me at all in that area.

by Henry Fri 19 Dec 2014, 21:19

The mother has now officially been charged with murder. Grim times....

by lardbucket Fri 19 Dec 2014, 21:34

this poor woman has probably been ill for some time ... access to mental health services is very poor

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 22:51

So she stabbed her 8 kids then herself in the chest numerous times!!! Yikes - she was obviously at the end of her tether. Shocked

by Bradman Fri 19 Dec 2014, 23:48

Sort of hard to believe that she could have done it without doping them somehow first. But that would imply premeditation which would turn it from horrific into.........I don't even know if there is a word for it.

by PeterCS Fri 19 Dec 2014, 23:54

"Psychotic"?

by Bradman Fri 19 Dec 2014, 23:57

Could be a case of psychedelic actually.

Probably, but it's a not uncommon family name in The Straits.

by Bradman Sat 20 Dec 2014, 08:01

I think she was a Thaiday before she was married but as lardy says not rare.
