The bloke I heard on the news yesterday was not the father of the two lads. Apparently the lads were living with a bloke who was looking after them for the parents (or the Mother in particular, as the Father wasn't mentioned). He apologised to the Mother and said he'd done his best to look after them.
There are so many things wrong with this tragic tale and the people claiming that they have no sympathy are obviously trolling. Shame really.
