Australian Father Gives Himself the Sad, Final Word on Daughter?s Custody

By Janet Langjahr

Australian Father and Mother battle over custody of their three children.

They are in court two days in a row.

The next day, Father allegedly stands on a bridge and throws 4 year old Daughter over the side of it, into a river.

The couple’s other two children may be in the car during the incident.

Daughter dies.

Father is charged with murder. Father faces a possible life sentence if convicted of the charge.

Father is deemed “psychologically unfit” to appear in the initial criminal proceedings.

There likely won’t be much of a battle over custody over the two surviving children, even if Father is not deemed “psychologically unfit” to appear in family court.
