A tragic ending; I can’t imaging how the surviving family members are feeling. This abuser seems to have felt so entitled to abuse and control his wife that he felt he had the right to do anything to punish her and try to make her return to him. Including killing his daughter. Domestic violence murder. Lethality. These are words. What must the reality be like?
