Man wanted wife 'to see suicide'

Man wanted wife 'to see suicide' : "Magistrate Sarah Dawes granted the intervention order prohibiting him from contact with his wife and son."
Well, there is so much more to this case today. It's a mess. A complete mess and the man, an ex policeman, is a very sick puppy indeed. Just reading what is available here is sufficient to see he is quite distraught and unbalanced for whatever reason. He drugged his 7 year old. He had rung his father to tell him to take care of him. He obviously didn't want his son to see what was going on. His wife must be totally traumatised by now because some of this will be sinking in. She is going to need a lot of help. Presumably at some stage he was stable and could hold down a tough job. He's broken. His wife will be broken. His son will be broken and the families will be in crisis management. What a mess. This is going to need a lot of expert help and support. The judge doesn't need my permission, but I am so glad the husband cannot see his wife and son and I am so glad they have left it until December for the hearing. It'll give the family time to rally and for expert help to stabilise the situation and for the details to be pieced together. Even if he was supposed to be cross about her possibly having an affair, his reaction is quite extreme. There is a lot more to it than that, if that is what set it off. The 3 of them are very much at risk at this point in time.
