A father who killed his son by throwing him from a hotel balcony was cleared of murder by a Greek court today, but sent to stay in a psychiatric unit.John Hogan, 33, from Bristol, hurled his six-year-old son Liam from the balcony then jumped himself with two-year-old daughter Mia in a suicidal act described as "selfish love" by his ex-wife Natasha.
Liam died of head injuries, but Hogan and Mia survived with broken limbs in the fall during their holiday on the island of Crete.

He has a history of mental illness, he's probably a drink driver as well

Difficult judgement to make I suppose and a dreadfully sad story. The guy must have been in a shocking frame of mind to have done what he did and I'm sure that nobody will feel as bad as he does. Mental health problems, a family history of suicide and the fear of losing his wife and children clearly sent him to the brink. I just hope that one day he and his family can get over what has happened.

Just so long as the health service didn't pay to heal his wounds, then I can sleep well

Probably ill, but only three years though. :icon_conf
