Domestic violence is a parasite. While men are often the perpetrators, there is a small percentage of women who kill their partners. But, again, where does this put the males who murder their families?
It’s the topic people have been discussing for the last couple of weeks. Domestic violence is in the headlines again after the death of Queensland mother-of-three Hannah Clarke at the hands of her estranged husband, Rowan Baxter. The conversation is tricky because the men involved in many horrifying cases kill their families in revenge.
Not all men are violent, but some are misogynistic and think men are the superior gender. If they believe this, why get married and sire children? As we see with males who share similar views to Rowan Baxter, wives and children become property they control, not like normal human beings. Often, these individuals are insecure or envious of their partners being more successful than them.
We’re going to examine five men who have murdered their families. Please note that these stories are graphic, so please do not continue if you find the content distressing.
