Man Kills His 6 Children Based On Religious Beliefs

Handel, now on trial in B.C. Supreme Court for six counts of first-degree murder, admits he killed his six children, who ranged in age from two to 11 years. But his lawyers argue he is not criminally responsible for the crime because he was suffering from a mental disorder at the time of the killings.

Handel was depicted earlier by his lawyer, John Green, as a depressed and devoutly Christian man who was suicidal over his wife's perceived adultery. Rather than leave his children behind without his protection, he killed them to take them with him to the after-life, Green said.

Damn Straight. Blow em both away at the same time.

What an idiot. Who kills there kids cuz his wife cheated on him. fury has it right... kill the other man and the wife not the kids!

if you read the article, it doesn't sound like she really had an affair. nor does it sound like the husband was a devout Christian. sounds like he was a controlling jerk who flipped when his wife left him and took it out on the poor kids. there are no winners in this situation.
