An Australian mother tragically witnessed her 4-year-old daughter being chased by her father on CCTV moments before he killed the child, her 6-year-old brother, and then himself in their Bali home.
In a devastating incident in southern Bali, 56-year-old Australian man Damien John Shaw killed his two young children, 4-year-old Laura and 6-year-old Archie, before taking his own life. The three were found dead in their home after the children's mother, who was out of town, asked a worker to check on them. The mother had become worried after a phone call with Shaw was cut off while she could hear her daughter crying. She then checked the house's CCTV camera and was forced to watch as Shaw 'chased' Laura, who was reportedly yelling 'I love you, Daddy.' Police theorize that Archie was likely already dead at this point, and Laura was trying to escape. Friends of Shaw stated he was 'struggling mentally' and had recently lost $140,000, mentioning suicidal thoughts. The article concludes with a mental health helpline.
