Father shoots dead ex-wife and daughter, could not cope with marriage break up [View all]

"Lance Hart, 57, waited patiently at a parking lot, waiting for his ex-spouse and daughter was they walked to their car. As they approached the car in Spalding, Lincolnshire, Lance shot both his wife, Claire and his 19 year old daughter Charlotte. He then turned the gun to himself and committed suicide.

Close friends of Lance say he suffered from severe depression and anger when his wife left him. His wife had previously told him she planned on leaving him, and the couple sold the house after their divorce was finalised. Friends of Lance say he was devastated and could not cope with the break up."

if he was angry with his wife, why on earth would he take it out on the daughter too!!!

He saw her as a possession, not as a full human being. DLevine Jul 2016 #9
Seriously? You see his killing them as an expression of his great love for her? Squinch Jul 2016 #10
People do not violently murder people they love. Period. prayin4rain Jul 2016 #11
No, but some people's sense of Self depends on others' committed love for them forever, or ancianita Jul 2016 #15
Yes, abusive controllers depend on others conforming to their wishes prayin4rain Jul 2016 #16
Agreed. Because they have a sense of Self that doesn't depend on someone's validation. ancianita Jul 2016 #17
