Misnomer

I’m just going to say one thing about this story.

It’s not, as the media were portraying it this morning, a “double suicide”. The boy was 12, with a mental age of 7. Not really an age where you think “I know, I’ll take my mum and chuck myself off Humber Bridge”.

It’s murder-suicide. Simple as that. The boy didn’t choose to chuck himself off, he was chucked off. That’s murder. End of.

    Actually, it was probably manslaughter (diminished responsibility)..

    Apparently she sent a letter or called her family (whatever) and told them, that shows intent hence murder.
