When the children’s mother, came home later that day she was attacked from behind with an axe after discovering her mother and children dead.

But she managed to fend off her father, despite sustaining deep lacerations and fractures to her skull.

"I am doing this because I love you," the father explained. "When I am done with you lot I am going to Newcastle to kill your ex-husband. We are all better off this way."
