Murder in the family | M6 | 66 minutes

A few weeks ago, horrified Americans sat in front of their TV sets and watched as a house in the Seattle suburbs blazed. Inside were two small boys of 5 and 7 as well as their father, who had decided to deliberately put an end to their lives. It was the tragic epilogue to the long descent into hell of a family that seemed to be doing well in every way. Hidden behind the image of the happy couple?he a computer technician; she a hairdresser?lay a domestic hell. Josh, the father, was said to have tyrannised his wife and he is even suspected of killing her. Months ago, he reported that she had disappeared. But one fine day at school, the younger boy does a drawing of the family in a recreational vehicle. “And where’s Mommy?” asks the teacher. “In the trunk,” replies the child. Investigators believe she was murdered while the family was away on a camping trip. An inquiry into a story that has rocked America.
