Sex Assault Suspect Kills Family, Self

Posted by Abyss2hope | May 25th, 2006

AP

A man standing trial on sexual assault charges apparently killed his wife, their two children and himself hours before he was to testify Thursday, authorities said.

When I posted earlier today on my blog about who people would blame if a rape suspect committed murder in response to being charged, I didn’t think I’d find such a case this soon.

The responsibility for this crime belongs to the one who committed it, not to his alleged victims.

    “This is a tragedy for the whole family.”

    Er, no it’s not. He killed them. Evidently he raped the girls, too. How can you equate the murderer and the victims?

    Sigh. That was directed at the person that made the comment. Even so, it’s stunning.
