Father Resolves to Block Child?s Relocation, No Matter What it Takes - Even Murder

By Janet Langjahr

Canadian Husband and Wife separate. But it doesn’t go smoothly.

Husband gets idea that Wife wants to relocate with couple’s Son. Wife insists she promised to remain in the same area.

According to friends of Husband, he is a “nice guy”. Even though he warns Wife that any relocation will be “over [my] dead body”.

Unfortunately, it appears that Husband isn’t exaggerating or speaking figuratively.

While Husband has Son with him for visitation, Husband allegedly kills Son and himself, by carbon monoxide poisoning.

To block a relocation that probably would not have happened anyway.

Son was just three years old at the time of his death.

No indication whether there was a prior history of violence or more pointed recent threats.
