Like a good neighbor

Surfing brought me to this article from Britain, describing a murder-suicide of a father and his two small boys.  Here's a snippet:

Miss Dodman was woken at about 5am by a loud thud on her bedroom wall, which was next to the boys’ room.
She said: “I could hear the older boy screaming, ‘what are you doing to me?’ It was exceptionally clear and he must have done it four or five times.”
She said there were a series of little bangs on the wall and screams which sounded like the older boy “flailing about”.
Miss Dodman said: “The little boy, who was scared, was crying – I don’t know how to describe it. The older boy’s scream was very loud.
“I just can’t really describe it, my stomach just clenched and I thought that’s not right.”
Miss Dodman said she thought the screaming had gone on for about an hour in the early hours of August 30 last year before she fell asleep.

HUH!?!?  That last sentence really threw me.  I had to read it twice more to be sure.  RTWT.

Add it the the Anti-Hero of the Year list along with the seven witnesses of this, and the several men who watched this happen.  The examples are endless.

Just... wow.
