Reflections:

Doctor Turcotte shared his story of the night that has will continue to torture him forever. In front of a hushed courtroom on Thursday he commited the murder of his two children after finding out that his wife had moved on after their seperation and was in love with someone else. On Feb 20 2009 Turcotte had taken his kids to his rented house fed them, played with them,  watched TV, and then sang songs with them as he put them to sleep, then he saw the email exchange between his wife and her lover Martin Huot and he was hurt because "i'd never  been loved that way and it hurt." After reading that e-mail turcotte spent many hours surfing the web on how to kill himself when found not toxics in the house he decided to stab himself in the heart and began to sharpen a knife, but realized his wife, a doctor in the emergency room told him stabbing yourself in the heart doesnt always work. Turcotte described how he killed his two children Oliver and Anne-Sophie and when Oliver cried he would stab him more becuase he saw him in pain and the same thing happpened with Anne-Sophie, after hearing the whole story and reconted over and over Gaston left the courtroom and collapsed outside in tears.

There are many cases of manslaughter and events where the anger and sedness is being expressed towards the wrong person. He was sad because his wife left him and he was probably angry with hinself that he couldnt have loved her more or been a better husband so in the end he wanted to upset her and punish himself so that is why he first decided to kill himself, but in the end killing his children which brought pain to his wife and it also brought pain to him, but he didnt realize was that his children had nothing to do with this they were bystanders that got caught up in this and they ended up losing their lives when they were only 5,and 3 and hadnt lived at all and had their entire life before them.
