No-one is considered a suspect yet.  But the woman is "helping the police with their enguiries".  That usually has only one meaning.

I believe the police are due to give a press conference at 4.30 Cairns time - 5.30 AEST - 2.30 over here in the West. I'm not going to speculate or make any judgements until I've heard what they have to say.

[polksaladallie]

I won't speculate either.   But I take no notice of Murdoch's lackies.

Seeking to understand the inexplicable

Date February 24, 2012

Each year, an average of 27 Australian children die at the hands of their parents. What brings a parent to kill their own child? And what are the warning signs to pick those at risk? Amy Remeikis reports.

That average has just risen.

"A blended family" is the latest news.

I heard on the ch 7 news something about an 18 yr old family member who may have been on Ice or something and just out of jail who is no helping with enquiries ...god if it was not the Mum I cannot imagine how she will cope

According to the Courier Mail, the mother is not considered a suspect - but how much credence one can place in their account I don't know. I don't think the police have made an official statement yet.

I hope it wasn't the mother... It's so hard to imagine what drives a parent to kill their children.

---

so, you're hoping it was the father?

Why would you say that?

Read a comment for what it is not what you twist it to mean.  Of course I don't hope it was the father.  I hope it was not a parent at all, obviously.

It has been on the news over here, says police are saying no one else is in danger.

By that I think it was a family thing, it was a community housing house.

Just breaks your heart.

RIP Little ones XXXXX
