During his last moments, a billionaire father takes his own life after killing his wife and children. In one particular instance, the guy opened fire on his family as well as their pets, which included dogs and horses, before setting fire to his property that was worth £1.2 million. When instances of this kind take place, they are often captivating not just because they are unfathomable and horrifying, but also because they are juxtaposed with the fundamental human impulse that we have to protect those we care about whenever it is feasible to do so. There is little question that males are the ones who commit the bulk of incidents of family annihilation, also known as familicide. In the majority of cases, men are the ones who commit this crime. A guy who was going through a difficult time in his marriage was suddenly notified by his wife that she was going to leave him. The man, who was terrified of losing his wife and his family, took his three children to a quarry that had been abandoned and then proceeded to kill them by stabbing them. He then committed himself by jumping from a cliff in the neighboring area. An additional father who had been profoundly impacted by the loss of a child that occurred several years earlier, when his wife experienced a miscarriage, fell into a state of depression, which ultimately led to him taking the lives of his wife and two young children, before setting fire to their bedroom and embracing them before he himself passed away. As a result of improper use of the department’s computers, a police inspector was terminated from their position. Consequently, he returned to his residence, where he proceeded to kill his wife and daughter before taking his own life. Both of his elder children were able to escape the home without suffering any injuries. After some time had passed, it became clear that he had been looking for proof while he was at his place of employment, since he had a suspicion that his wife was having an affair. The author of the book “The Violent Home,” Richard Gelles, who is also the Director of the Centre for Research on Youth and Social Policy, notes that it seems that there are two different types of familicide. With the first being coercive, “I own my wife and children, and as a result, I have the right to take them with me if I no longer wish to live,” and the second being the familicide that occurs during times of economic instability, specifically the shame that they feel when they are no longer able to support their spouse and children, and they love them so much that they don’t want to shame them with their perceived shortcomings, so they decide to take them with them. Furthermore, Gelles draws parallels with cult leaders such as Jim Jones, who was responsible for the Jonestown Massacre in 1978. Jones commanded the followers of his People’s Temple cult, many of whom were children, to commit mass suicide before taking his own life. In this case, the father or husband views himself as the head of the family, and he is the one who will ultimately decide what happens to them. It is interesting to note that all of the cult leaders that we are aware of have been male, and it is possible that the males involved in these instances also match the description of a self-appointed dominating leader to some significant degree. Men who, had they just sought the assistance they need, may have been able to prevent the irreparable loss of those lives as well as the lives of everyone else who was left behind.
