An honorary headmaster brutally killed his wife and three sons and then committed suicide. And what`s the secret behind it?
Today, let`s find out!
At the end of August 2016, Mary Coll visited his daughter in Cavan, Ireland. However, Mary called the door should not, but found an envelope on the back door. The envelope says, "Please don`t enter the door." Please call the police. "
See this kind of text, Mary felt very wrong, ominous premonition hit the heart! So he called the police as promised. When the police came and broke into the door, Mary almost fainted on the spot, because she saw a terrible scene: the daughter of five unexpectedly none alive, all killed at home! Including: 39-year-old daughter Clodagh, three grandchildren: 13-year-old Liam,11 Niall, and 6-year-old Ryan, and 40-year-old son-in-law Alan Hawe.
Police were also shocked by the tragedy and quickly opened an investigation. Soon, the police found a note at the scene. Alan Hawe wrote the note for his parents and siblings, as well as his mother-in-law and sister-in-law. "I`m sorry I killed them all, but I really had no choice," he said in his note. "I`m sorry I`m so cruel, but I have no choice."
Instead of exposing his three sons to suicide by their father, Alan said in the suicide note, kill them all. From this note, is it true that a man who is a father and a husband has made up his mind to commit suicide. Then he thought: his suicide is sure to give his wife, to give the three sons unerasable trauma, so kill them all?
His brain circuit is: instead of hurting his wife and children, why don`t I kill you together, but it`s good for you? How could there be such an asshole`s husband and father?
Alan also gave a special account of what happened: hope for cremation, do not bury me, cremated ashes scattered into the sea. At the end of the note, he was not extravagant in asking for forgiveness.
According to reason, Alan was a vice-principal, his wife Clodagh was also a teacher, the husband and wife had a good social status and financial well-being. But why did he want to kill himself? And brutally kill his wife and children?
It turns out that behind the gloss, it`s hard to tell: Alan`s obsession with porn, and it`s a little out of control.
After the tragedy, a person familiar with the tragedy told the media: "Alan was caught watching porn at school. He`s been creating the image of the mainstay of his community, and he`s worried about his reputation. "
People familiar with the matter said Alan not only couldn`t help but watch porn on his computer at school and masturbate while watching a movie, so he was caught.
Alan`s obsession with porn has a long history, and this particular hobby has even influenced his husband-to-wife relationship. And what`s worse: after the arrest, the school opened an investigation, and even the police intervened. In the end, however, no illegal porn was found on the Alan computer.
If Alan always calls himself "the mainstay of the community" and cares so much about his reputation, being caught masturbating while watching porn is really a fatal blow.
In fact, Alan said in his suicide note that he was worried that his students would look at him differently and that his career would be ruined. As a result of the reputation Waterloo, Alan received psychological counseling. In December 2017, a local court questioned the death of the five members of the Alan family. The court specifically invited a psychologist, Professor Harry Kennedy, to examine all of his counseling records.
Professor Kennedy reviewed all of Alan`s counseling records from March 15 to June 21, 2016, and concluded: "Counseling records from March to June last year showed that, Alan Hawe was in trouble." Professor Kennedy said. Alan has been suffering from depression for a long time. By the time of the massacre, his depression had developed to a very serious level and had developed mental symptoms. "when a person has a serious mental illness, their judgment may be seriously impaired."
During the court hearing, a lawyer hired by Alan`s mother-in-law, Mary Coll, also said: "Alan`s consultant said he was concerned that his status as a `mainstay of the community` was in jeopardy. We also know that he fears that his marriage will fall apart. "
Finally, after considering all the evidence, the jury concluded that Alan did commit suicide after killing his wife and three sons. The method he used was cruel: his three sons had been slashed and his wife had been chopped to death with an axe.
After the court hearing, his mother-in-law, Mary Coll`s lawyer, revealed several more grim details: Alan`s killing of his wife and children was premeditated and carefully planned, because he first killed his wife and eldest son. The aim is to take out those who are likely to resist first by surprise. Second, Alan cut his throat to prevent his wife and children from calling for help.
This is a tragic tragedy, what kind of demons live in his body to control him so cruel to kill his wife and children? What kind of demons would be so calm, rational and premeditated to systematically kill their wives and children? We have to say, pay more attention to the people around us, to those suffering from all kinds of demons depression, so that this tragedy will not happen again.
