Sick and disturbing things happen on a daily basis in the world that we're living in. But it is rare that we hear stories of a parent killing their children, although they have happened many times in the past. We like to believe that the unconditional and can't-live-without kind of love exists in all families.
This was not the case for a French father (48) who allegedly killed his two children (5 and 10) on 19 May, 2013.
An article, taken from UPI, reads:
