Garrgoil Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 The jury also heard that tensions had flared for an umpteenth and final time between Gaston and Turcotte when she had the locks changed at the home the couple once shared. She switched them following a number of run-ins between her ex and her new boyfriend, Martin Huot. She testified that Turcotte was livid. "You want a war? You've got a war," she recalled him saying over the phone. Gaston panicked at the threat. But she felt the warning was related to money. She ended up deciding to go on a girls' weekend northeast of Quebec City. The next day, the kids were found dead. She found out about it on the news. Who wants to bet she wasn't cheating on her new man, Huot, on the so-called "girls' weekend"?
ladydesigner Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I'm sorry, cheating is cheating and murder is just downright despicable, especially young children. That father was/is insane. I am a BS as well as a WS and cheating just does not equate killing in my eyes. The father will get what he deserves in prison. There is one thing inmates cannot stand and that is someone who has caused hurt, molested, or killed a child... he has his coming.
bstill Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 How tragic! When a man experiences a severe depression that begins to border on a psychotic break with reality, killing his family starts to take hold of his thoughts in this mentally warped state. He wants to end HIS life but begins to believe his children will be unprotected and in danger, so he thinks they will be better off he ends their lives too! It is one of the first questions psychiatrists will ask a severely depressed male with a family as a way to guage how severe his depression is: "Do you ever have fantasies of killing your family?" However with women, infanticide is so rare, even within a psychotic break with reality, that it makes the national news. How very tragic! Do you ahve any sources for your statement regarding infanticide? The content of your post seems really specious on all accounts.
Windsurf66 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 That's why it's a fact cheaters are pure evil. They just don't give a damn. Yup. Yes, they are pure evil and should end up in hell But the guy is wrong; the kids shouldn't have died, the whore and the OM should have been the ones
John Michael Kane Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Yes, they are pure evil and should end up in hell But the guy is wrong; the kids shouldn't have died, the whore and the OM should have been the ones Yup but the mother is just as evil. She continued living it up instead of trying to be a mother to those kids, but then again it's typical cheater behavior.
Je me souviens Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I'm from Quebec and have followed this case since it first went public. It happened in Piedmont, about an hour from Montreal. The wife is no angel, but the husband was obviously insane. Even if she never cheated, I'm sure he would have snapped eventually. I'm also sure that he showed signs in the past, which were ignored.
Darren Taylor Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Yes, they are pure evil and should end up in hell But the guy is wrong; the kids shouldn't have died, the whore and the OM should have been the ones That's way overboard. Yes, she deserved to be punished severely. No alimony, only partial custody of the kids; those are civil yet deserving consequences. Saying she should have died is way over the top. As despicable as she is, she is no where near the level of any convicted felon.

Darren Taylor Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Oh yes she is. Putting that man's life at risk for STDs. Anyone that has sex without getting tested for STDs first is putting the other's life at risk, yet people do it all the time. Does that mean all those people are on the same level as a murderer, arson, or pedophile?

Does that mean all those people are on the same level as a murderer, arson, or pedophile? Exactly. People who drink & drive also are in the same position .. risking other lives. At least in THIS country, the just punishment for them is imprisonment (and financially penalties), NOT death.
bentnotbroken Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Anyone that has sex without getting tested for STDs first is putting the other's life at risk, yet people do it all the time. Does that mean all those people are on the same level as a murderer, arson, or pedophile? In my mind...yes. I can't see putting someone at risk for my own pleasure and without their consent. That is what all those who commit those crimes use listed do. Their own pleasure and another's expense. They of course don't carry the same weight legally(but then there are different forms of murder, yet the person is no less dead no matter which form is legally applied). The responsibility for endangering another's life knowingly is hard for me to stomach. A few years ago I was teaching my youngest to drive. She started to speed. I told her she was endangering her life and others by driving above the posted limit(2 lane road), her reply was classic and eye opening...."Mom you do it all the time. What is the difference between you and me?" My stammering response was that I had more experience and could react faster. Again, she slapped me hard with her answer..."so will the people be less hurt or dead if you hit them because you have more experience?" It makes you think about all the actions we take daily where no one else has a choice in the consequences of our actions. Therefore we should act in a way to protect not only ourselves but others.

Darren Taylor Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 But see we're not talking about those other issues. You're going off-topic. Really? I'm very much on-topic. By your logic, anyone that has sex without STD testing deserves to die because technically, they're putting others at risk.

I was referring to this specific case, not about other circumstances so again, you're off-topic.
datura_noir Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 C'mon, really?? Death to a cheater??Because they cheated?? I draw the line at physical harm... This was totally out of bounds. He obviously had problems.

No alimony, only partial custody of the kids; those are civil yet deserving consequences. Saying she should have died is way over the top. As despicable as she is, she is no where near the level of any convicted felon. nothing is civil at all about the evil commited by adulterers, esp totally unremorseful ones. Convicted felons are more acceptable to me than adulterers; at least the police or I can shoot them Cheaters? They are encouraged, enabled, protected and incentivised by the system to cheat and get away with it. They literally get away with murder and what can the poor BS do? they cheat, get half the assets, get alimony, get custody, and destroy the family that you have worked so hard to build, and rub it in your face by making up and dressing like a whore for their OM to enjoy, and not forgetting, screwing in your house, on your bed and using your money. What can you do? i would rather stay with a felon than with a cheater, as least i am guarded against the felon....what can you do with a hypocritical cheater who gives you despicable low blows from behind you when your defenses are down, because you will never imagine the love of your life stabbing you from behind its all relative to the individual; for me, a hypocrite is worse than a felon

A murder victim has no such luxury.
tami-chan Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 While he is a monster, she is also. So cheating and killing innocent children are equal? You need help. Serious help.
Darren Taylor Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 I can't believe a select few in this thread. Even those that defend the woman will admit she isn't blameless. I certainly acknowledge that. But seriously, are you going to compare a cheater to someone that not only is a murderer, but murdered INNOCENT CHILDREN???

I hope you do, good luck!!!!
John Michael Kane Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 So cheating and killing innocent children are equal? What was she doing instead of taking care of those kids? Out clubbing looking to blow another man. You need help. Serious help. I know you do.
Untouchable_Fire Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 So cheating and killing innocent children are equal? You need help. Serious help. Are you asking which one is more EVIL? Nobody thinks they are equal. They are both very bad things. I'm glad that we punish child killers. However I find it sad we don't punish adulterers...
tami-chan Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 What was she doing instead of taking care of those kids? Out clubbing looking to blow another man. I got ya. Of course you know for a fact she was neglectful as a parent, right? and thus that totally JUSTIFIES the BS murdering his kids. I love the double standard...nay...the hypocrisy ! I know you do. I am not the one justifying murder, but we know who does !

I love the double standard...nay...the hypocrisy ! I am not the one justifying murder, but we know who does ! Maybe I missed it, but I didn't read him justifying murder. The poor kids just had crappy parents... a psycho killer father and a mother not worthy of the title. Yes she WAS out partying. YES you can expect someone to sacrifice social time to take care of the kids... especially if your STBXH is a psychopathic killer.

However I find it sad we don't punish adulterers... No, not asking that...how about reading the other poster's comment? Maybe you will understand the context. Of course they are both bad things. Nobody is saying they are not and yes, adulterers are punished by society..nowhere near as severe, of course. But what kind of punishment do you think should be meted out to adulterers? I mean, in the grand scheme of things it is only one person who broke a vow. People can move on, if they choose to-if they have enough faith in themselves. Those kids are dead-there is no moving on or forging a new life for them...
