Following the tragic murder-suicide that ended the lives of a two-year-old boy and his young parents, a criminologist says killings like this often can’t be predicted.
Arizona-based author and professor Neil Websdale tells The Calgary Sun 30 per cent of cases in which men kill their families happen with no warning.
He says the killers are often narcissistic with a sense of male entitlement, or they may feel the best option is to take the entire family with them if they’re planning on committing suicide.
The bodies of Darren and Hayley Wourms, as well as their son Cayden were found in a ditch in rural Saskatchewan May 28.
