Dad killed children and himself

What would make a man kill himself and take the life of his two children?

Michael Pedersen from Surrey was found dead in Newton Stacy, Hampshire, with his children Ben, seven, and Freya, six.

Police believe the 51-year-old former service man stabbed the children before killing himself.

A month before the deaths Mr Pedersen had revealed details of his marriage break-up on the social networking site Facebook. In one post on 31 August he wrote it was the "Worst day of my life. Sadly have split with Erica am absolutely distraught".

Post-mortem examinations are due to take place on the two children later.
