A 37-year-old housewife and her three children were found dead in a room at their apartment in this southern port city in an apparent suicide pact, police said Saturday.
The woman, whose named was not available, was found hanged by her husband at around 11 a.m. Saturday, police said. The husband was apparently unaware of the death because he was sleeping in another room, they said.
Police, alerted by the 40-year-old husband, inspected the room and found the couple's three children, aged 4, 9 and 10, dead in the same room where the housewife was found hanged.
Police said they were trying to determine the exact cause of death but suspected that the woman might have killed herself after killing her three children.
South Korea has the highest suicide rate among the 30 nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, of which it is a member.

I dont wan't to live on this planet anymore meme would be appropriate here...
If you use it in a topic about a person taking her own life and murdering her children in the progress, it is not a appropriate time to use this meme. This can happen, I make stupid mistakes like that also..
But I don't become dismissive about it and call other stupid in almost every reply :)

By the way, calling someone stupid doesn't help you get your point across. And I didn't attack you, calm down. HTH

Date: 2012-01-22 06:07 pm (UTC)in eastern asian culture the mother believes that the child is a part of her and that the child would be unable to care for themselves and that no one is capable of caring for the child like the mother would. in her apparent suicide it would be necessary in her mindset to take her three children with her...as they are part of her... if you get what i'm saying...
