Pigs over there. Ignore them

Not suggesting any sympathy after what happened but imagine being 26 in a psych ward, waiting to be interviewed by police for murdering your own father. This is just so damn tragic.

In a way things getting to the stage where a son would kill his father is the biggest tragedy here

 

[kaypee]

We don't that yet. Could be manslaughter. Court will decide.

Charge will always be murder. Even if it gets reduced on verdict to manslaughter he's still been murdered - manslaughter in this case will simply be an alternative offered to the jury if they can't agree on intent

Indeed. It sounds like it's been building over many years rather than something out of the blue.

Horrible day at work with this on my mind. what a tragedy

RIP Phil Walsh - I am in total disbelief

So I wake up yesterday morning (I live in Europe) and find that Roughy has cancer, and then this morning this? I had to look at the headline several times to figure this out. So weird and awful. I think everyone needs to take a few weeks off. Serious. This is the worst thing that has happened in the time I've followed football.

The police spokesman played a pretty straight bat when talking about the knife but one of his deflections was interesting. When asked what type of knife it was he said along the lines of "I can't comment on the type of knife nor how it came to be on the premises". The latter part makes it sound like a knife was brought into the home.

Relevant for the courts. Irrelevant for a discussion forum heading.

The right thing to do would be change it to deceased.

24 hours from now we'll know a lot more.

 

[Feerits Elf]

We don't know for sure he murdered his father yet, it's plausible he acted in self defence.

Yes, but he's still waiting to be interviewed by police on a murder charge.

Sad news. The circumstances make it even worse.

Condolences to all close to him. Particularly his wife and daughter.

Safe to say alcohol or drugs were probably involved me thinks unfortunately

In other entries he describes periodic obsessions with checking his Facebook, working out, organic diets, Japanese music and video games.

He outlines encounters with foreign girls — one of whom was using drugs, which made it “endgame for me” — and his experience getting “blind drunk”.

“I become very … emotional, and I don’t just mean I get all sad and wanna cry and kill myself (although occasionally that might happen),” he wrote.

“What I mean is that I become a wild beast of emotion in general, hate, love, sadness, whatever.

“I wanna fight some guy who didn't even look at me ... next I try to grab some girl and yank her into the bathroom.

“I’ll start picking people up and telling them I like them or pointing in faces and calling people bitches ... it has quite unfortunately become a bit of a problem for me.”

Cy Walsh vows he is “never drinking again” and writes that his focus has shifted to “The Asian Girlfriend Project” — his desire to meet and fall in love with an Asian girl.

Thoughts are with the family and friends of Phil Walsh. Such tragic circumstances. May he rest peacefully.

Tragedy brings out both the best and worst in people

Absolute oxygen thieves

Sounds like a little shit. Let's hope he doesn't get off easy.

Disbelief. So tragic.
RIP Phil Walsh.

“I wanna fight some guy who didn't even look at me ... next I try to grab some girl and yank her into the bathroom."

Yes it is, it's just a bloody tragedy !! Very sad for family and friends

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

So damn sad, feel for the wife/mother and sister/daughter now, not just the football community but the whole community needs to rally for this one.

 

[HBF]

That is a relief as I was hoping it was not just 1 child as that would have been even worse for the mother as it would have meant she would have lost everyone in one hit, her husband who is dead and her son who is going to prison. It is good she has another child though.

Feel for the daughter.
Lost her dad, brother in jail and mum in hospital.

 

[Warsaw]

Just even saying the words today have been incredibly difficult and hard to comprehend. I realise that this isn't unique to society, but it just makes you stop and consider everything around you.

I sincerely hope the rest of Phil's family can at some point down the line, find some semblance of normality to their lives.
