Dad who murdered kids as part of his "custody battle" hangs himself in jail (France)

Good riddance to bad garbage.

Once again, we see one of the triumphs of the fathers rights movement.

Decency and common sense would tell you that a father with an extensive history of violence and alcoholism (including at least two assaults on the mother of his children) should NOT have contact with children.

But the fathers rights people have prevailed in all the courts these days, so we're supposed to indulge criminals and thugs and give in to their terrorist demands. Thus we see a piece of merde like JULIAN STEVENSON get his no-contact order lifted JUST ONE WEEK before the children's murders. And then, Daddy Dearest butchered them like hogs in a slaughterhouse on his FIRST UNSUPERVISED VISIT.

Stop giving these slime bags access to the kids. No access, no murders.

A father who cut his children's throats after a custody battle with his French former wife has hanged himself in prison, according to legal officials in France.

Julian Stevenson was living in the French city of Lyon when he slit 10-year-old Matthew and five-year-old Carla’s throats with a kitchen knife in May.

The 47-year-old, who had a history of violence and alcoholism, had murdered his children in a fit of rage then fled the scene on rollerskates.

He was discovered moments later walking the suburban streets covered in blood.

Stevenson had been embroiled in a bitter custody battle with his assistant accountant former wife and had been banned from having contact with his children without a third person present.

However, this order was partially reversed in the weeks before the murder, and Stevenson was believed to be having his first visit alone with his children when he killed them.

In the hours before their deaths Stevenson, who was unemployed, was captured in a bakery with them buying sweets – they were each carrying a balloon.

But Stevenson’s former wife, Stephanie, whom he had badly beaten in 2005 and 2010, became anxious about the visit and arrived at his Lyon flat to find him in the stairwell of the four-storey block covered in blood.

Stevenson, who had been living in France for a decade, appeared briefly in court in May and was being held in prison where he was found hanged on Monday.

A source at the local public prosecutors' office told the news agency AFP: “He hanged himself on Monday in a sports hall reserved for inmates held in solitary confinement."
