Senseless Triple Murders in a Small Town

Ok....I know this blog is more for educational purposes, but today I need to use it for personal reflection.  Last week in my small town of Manchester we had a very senseless triple murder of a mother and her two children.  Why???? I can not get over this.  I did not know this family, but her children were the same ages as my boys.  She knew the man that did this and he has children of his own. He is claiming post traumatic stress from the war, but I am not falling for this. why? I guess because of the way he killed them. It is took gruesome to even discuss, but he placed bodies in garabage bags....this is just too much! It breaks my heart. I can't even imagine how this mother felt when this man was hurting her family.  I keep thinking what would I do if this was me and my children...I want to move past this and I know I will. I really don't even know why it bothers me so much since I didn't know them...but I know this man needs the most severe type of punishment. He will have a punishment waiting for him when this world ends.
