He is believed to have killed his two daughters - Izzy aged one and Ellie, aged three - before he hanged himself.
A police investigation was underway today intot he tragedy which happened at scene at Paynes Road MOT garage, Freemantle, Southampton.

He had worked there as a self-employed MOT tester for several years but had handed his notice in to his boss last Friday and was working his notice.
It is understood his distressed partner had raised the alarm, calling 999 when she returned home to find a note from the children's father, telling her he was going to harm them.

Please stop for a second, and think this poor man suffered for along time trying to make his family work, the fear of losing his children, for what trying to be the best dad he could, who are we to pass judgement untill we are in that situation, untill we are told thats the last time you will see your children. Today children are used as weapons in relationship breakdowns, this man clearly could not bare the thought of losing them. Anyone question the mother and what role she played I THINK NOT, people are to quick to judge in this world, this man must of been so poorly, scared and lost (THINK ABOUT THAT) question why there was not obviously enough help for him. A tragic end. RIP.X
This man must have been "so poorly, scared and lost" he just HAD to murder his own children did he?
Not only that, he HAD to phone his ex-wife and tell her first.
Poorly? Mentally, yes.
Scared and lost? Maybe not.
Lets hope the children are happy in heaven and the father rots in hell. RIP.

Such selfishness, and that is what it is, has become all too common. If an individual wants death then by all means - sell tickets for the event for all I would care. Do not though take the life of any other person as well, it is not your right!
Absolute nonsense from the "legal system v Dads" quarter.
If the courts and my wife stopped me from seeing my child subsequent to a separation/divorce, the last person I would have murderous tendancies towards would be the child.
Stop making excuses for an evil and spiteful act of the very worst kind.
