There's been no mention that any of his kids where in the car with him, local news sources seem to indicate that he was on his way to pick them up from school - I hope to god that this is true - sure it'll all come out in time - sounds like victim knew of his attacker.

Missis was taking our son to visit a friend off Village Rd not long after the attacker had fled - credit to the emergency services they got there as fast as they could and tried for a good while to save him. So sad! frown

His wife has done a couple of my tattoos. She's understandably numb with shock. My thoughts and prayers go to her and their children. Such a waste of life.

It seems that the police picked his daughter up, so no kids in the car.

Very sad for the family and all involved.
