This is what is so scary, that it can happen to anyone. I cant imagine what these women go through when (or if) they recover from their illness, living with what they’ve done.
I entirely agree. It's a terribly, terribly sad story and my heart goes out to the mother as well as the rest of the family.
Three siblings found dead in Bristol home named by police - with youngest a nine-month-old boy
Police called the incident a "tragedy", adding that post-mortems will now take place to establish the cause of death of the three children.news.sky.com
I do find my initial reaction to hearing of mothers vs fathers killing their own children are different.
I think my initial thoughts with mothers, especially when there is a baby involved, is along the lines of post partum psychosis which is a tragedy for all involved whereas men I just see their actions as anger and control over their wife/partner.
Obviously my thoughts might change as we hear more but it’s just something I’ve noticed about my initial response to these tragedies.
was that on the itv page? think that’s been taken down now. i’ve read elsewhere that he was a taxi driver so
Not sure whether this is verified but it’s from a taxi driver who is a friend. It says the husband is a security guard, there was a ‘problem’ between the couple and he wasn’t living in the house.was that on the itv page? think that’s been taken down now. i’ve read elsewhere that he was a taxi driver so
Woman arrested after three children found dead in Bristol
42-year-old woman held on suspicion of their murder sustained non-life-threatening injuries

Blimey - did the prosecution even turn up? Is there any chance of a retrial?
Even a jury member with no head could not have thought there was no way he MEANT to beat her with a hammer, but I understand they have to decide based on the evidence presented.
This latest article said the father has previously been arrested for domestic violence.
pictures and videos of the children have now been released

Pictured: Baby found dead alongside girl, three, and boy, seven
Mohamed Al Fil Bashh, aged 10 months, died at their home in Bristol alongside his 10-year-old brother Fares and seven-year-old sister Jory.
Watched a true life crime programme on the Murder & Investigation channel last night where a man was either beaten or shot to death while he slept in bed - his wife had 'fallen asleep' in the study while doing her tax returns and the noise woke her up, she said. Anyway, a few weeks after the murder, the wife contacted the police requesting the bloody bed sheets back, because ... they cost her $140. The investigating cops were all dumbfounded. And yes, surprise surprise she was indeed found to be involved in his murder.
Sorry, can't remember the name of the prog but it was the bed sheets thing that got me. I mean, would you?

If I was that attached to them I’d put cheap ones on the night before I killed himWatched a true life crime programme on the Murder & Investigation channel last night where a man was either beaten or shot to death while he slept in bed - his wife had 'fallen asleep' in the study while doing her tax returns and the noise woke her up, she said.

Father, 29, is found guilty of killing his six-month-old son
David Hollick, 29, denied murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of baby Kairo Jax Hollick, who died at Birmingham Children's Hospital on February 12 2020.
I’m shocked this is a not guilty verdict for murder (guilty for manslaughter). The baby was not only shaken but his head had been bashed at least twice and had a fracture to his right arm. However he has done it, even it was a snap moment, it was intent to cause serious harm with those kind of injuries surely.
I mean even the expensive ones you'd never get the stain out would you! I'm not sure your paying for quality in this case
What gets me is that if it was post partum psychosis why didn’t she kill herself too? She was able to kill all three kids but wasn’t that distressed/mentally ill to kill herself? Convenient.My thoughts exactly. The fact that there’s a 10 months old baby makes it very likely.
Poor babies
I think anyone saying ‘poor mother’ is in extremely poor taste. If it was a father people would be calling them scum etc. My sympathies lie only with the families and children whose lives were lost, and although mental health may be the cause of this tragedy, a crime has been committed and I struggle to find myself caring about the welfare of a triple murderer.
this is such a weird interpretation of PP psychosis! So if the person suffering doesn’t manage to kill themselves it’s not real? wtf?!
Women with post partum psychosis who kill their kids don't always kill themselves. Look at Andrea Yates in the USA who killed her 5 kids. She was very severely mentally ill. It's just very very tragic if that is the case here too.
She was injured and is still in hospital. We don’t know what the injuries were but I think it’s fair to assume they were self-inflicted.
If it was a father, there would be no possibility of post-partum psychosis or other serious perinatal mental illness. (Of course, there could still be mental illness with a father). Psychosis can entirely alter who you are. It can make you believe untrue things about other people - including your own children.
If she is seriously mentally unwell to the point she killed her three children - who were obviously loved very much - when she is well and able to realise what she did, her life will fall apart all over again.
Everyone is sad that children were killed. Empathy and concern for a mother driven to that point doesn’t dampen the feelings for the children.
Can you imagine being so mentally unwell that you think killing 3 children is the right/best/only thing to do. Post natal depression/psychosis is horrific and isn’t a convenience
I always remember one case, I think it was in the US, where the mum didn’t know she’d killed her children when she came out of the PPP and was asking where they were.
Heartbreaking all round.
I had a friend who had PNP. She didn't harm her child but the impact was so severe when she found herself pregnant a few years later she took her own life. Really we had lost her years before. She had "recovered" but she was a pale imitation of the woman she had been, it completely destroyed everything that made her her. Its an absolutely horrific condition and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I can't feel angry at this woman, just desperately sad that the system that needs to be there to support these mothers isn't available. This could have been prevented.
