Ex rugby league player and family die in car fire

[Mauricio Pinilla]

Pretty horrific story coming out of Australia. Obviously the full details aren't known yet but from the sounds of it this guy has killed himself and his entire family, including 3 young children, by setting their car on fire. 

 

   

His wife, Hannah Baxter, aged 31, died later in hospital from extensive burns. She had reportedly jumped from the car yelling: "He's poured petrol on me".

Jings.    Not quite sure how you evaluate the mental state / evil ******* calculation here.      I say he was an evil *******.

Few more details coming out. Seems they were in the middle of a custody battle and he had a history of domestic violence. He attacked the car after the wife had picked up the kids from school. Horrendous stuff.
