Unbelievable on Westgate Bridge this am

I was driving back West over WGB this morning, and police were racing along, weaving in and out of traffic...

I cannot believe someone would be so barbaric.

I just posted this on another forum; it's beyond me to think what goes through somebody's mind to make him do something like this.

Glad to hear they've now arrested him.

I wonder. Could you live with the knowledge that someone who was supposed to care for you (father??) threw you off a bridge. What would that do to your mind?

The story is constantly being updated on the SMH site. It seems he had two other children with him, and there is a custody battle going on.

Thats made me feel quite sick.. and angry !

I remember all the press coverage after that Dad pulled his lad and his girl into his arms and threw himself off a hotel balcony in Greece (?? I think its Greece)...

Hope the little girl recovers...

The other children must have been petrified having watched him do that, and then wondering what was going to happen to them.

Words fail me

Made me feel sick too. The bloke sounds like he was having a breakdown and will have to live with this for the rest of his life.

Plenty of people live with the horrors of what their parents have done to them, but most are still better off alive
