Dad who murdered ex-wife, toddler 'shows no remorse' (Adelaide, Australia)

Still not sure on what is meant by abusers and "entitlement thinking"? Here's an example for you. Dad MINH LY TRAN stabs his ex-wife to death, along with her 22-month-old child from a later relationship. All of this with the children from their former marriage nearby. The 10-year-old son witnessed the murder and was left to call emergency services--all while his baby brother and mom are bleeding to death in front of him. Two children are left motherless. The new husband is left without his wife. All are traumatized.

And this piece of sh** dad is still whining about how he was "treated unfairly in the past."

Believe it or not, Dad still can't get it through his thick freaking skull as to why the surviving kids didn't want to live with him and don't want him to "be their dad." This is really the essence of the "parental alienation syndrome" delusion. The person who is TOTALLY INCAPABLE of personal reflection, remorse, or responsibility for their actions. It's always somebody else's fault that people don't like them or don't want to be around them.

Wife, toddler killer Minh Ly Tran 'shows no remorse'

A KILLER who stabbed his former partner and her toddler to death still believes he was "treated unfairly in the past", the Supreme Court court has heard.

In March, Minh Ly Tran, 49, stabbed his ex-wife Han Nguyen and her 22-month-old son Domenic Vu with a knife he created with a blade and screwdriver, while his other two children were nearby.

His son, who was 10 at the time, witnessed the murders.

In sentencing Tran to at least 27 years jail today, Chief Justice John Doyle said a psychiatric report provided to the court found Tran, of Woodville North, seemed to "lack any remorse".

"You have shown little concern about the wellbeing of your children, you maintain your belief that you have been treated unfairly in the past," he said.

He said Tran had gone to Ms Nguyen's Angle Park home seeking to see his children and to ask if they wanted to live with him.

When the children said they didn't, he dragged Ms Nguyen, who was holding Domenic at the time, outside.

"Both answered that they did not want you to be their dad," he said.

"You became very angry".

"You took the knife from the bag that you were carrying and stabbed Ms Nguyen and Domenic several times".

Tran and Ms Nguyen had come to Australia from Vietnam and picked fruit for nearly 10 years in the Riverland. They bought a property there, before financial problems caused their split in about 2003.

Ms Nguyen, who had custody of the children, was granted the majority of proceeds from the sale of their property.

"I accept... that you felt that your life had been destroyed by the loss of your property and the loss of your children.

"I accept that you were obsessed by this feeling that your life was worthless and that you resented what Ms Nguyen had done, but you fail to recognise your own fault in all this."

He said Tran had gone to Ms Nguyen's house, seeking his children and was "prepared to become violent if you didn't get what you wanted".

"The fact that you killed Domenic demonstrates that you were prepared to kill whoever attracted your anger at that time."

He said Tran's two children, who cannot be named, will be forever affected.

"Your son saw you kill his mother and (Domenic), he will be burdened by that memory for the rest of his life."

After the murder, Tran drove home and called police but left his son to call emergency services while his mother lay dying.

Tran is serving a life sentence for each of the murders.

Chief Justice Doyle today imposed a non-parole period of 27 years.
