(Newser) – An Oklahoma City doctor is being held without bail over the first-degree murder of his 9-year-old son. The boy was found dead when police arrived at Dr. Stephen Wolf's home in response to 9/11 calls. A knife was removed from the home and the boy's mother is being treated in a local hospital for wounds investigators believe she received while trying to protect her son, CNN reports. Investigators are attempting to determine what triggered the attack.

Here in the US, they call them Family Destroyers. "Oh dear, the world isn't going well for me, so I shall off myself, but before I go... I'll take everyone I love out first, so they won't have to suffer the loss of glorious I." Dirtbags. And then they're the ones who forget the last step of offing themselves.

a little off subject, but why is it 9/11 call instead of a 911 or 9-1-1 call? just curious.

Oh, please. Men are murdering their wives and offspring everywhere. The only difference is Islamic men call it "honor" killing and they acknowledge the fragile male psyche that makes them maim and murder their loved ones.
