Killer dad begins life sentence (Birmingham, England, United Kingdom)

We've posted on dad CHRISTOPHER GRADY before. This is the daddy who literally called the mother on the phone and told her she's never see the kids again--right before he drove his car right into the river. Who gave this volatile nutcase child visitation and why? That's one question you very seldom see answered in these stories.

Killer father begins life sentence
22/03/2011

A father who drove his two "defenceless" young children into a freezing river, killing his five-year-old daughter, is beginning a life prison sentence.

Christopher Grady was imprisoned for life with a minimum term of 15 years for the murder of his daughter Gabrielle Grady, which he had denied.

Mr Justice Lindblom, sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court, also gave the 43-year-old a 10-year jail sentence for the attempted murder of his son, Ryan Grady.

Both children were passengers in the car that Grady plunged into the River Avon in Evesham, Worcestershire, on February 11 last year.

Gabrielle, known as Gabby to family and friends, spent two hours trapped in the submerged vehicle and was pronounced dead three days later. Grady and Ryan survived after police and firefighters pulled them from the water.
