Don’t trust the “Experts” – especially when you don’t know who they are
On the morning of Tuesday, 12 April in Newburgh, New York, a man called Jean Pierre was served with an order of protection barring him from “harassment, menacing [or] reckless endangerment” of his wife Lashanda Armstrong and their children. About 6PM he arrived at her flat and – according to a witness – shouted: “Open the fucking door.” Following an argument, he left at 7PM. Fifteen minutes later Lashanda Armstrong committed suicide by driving into the freezing Hudson River in New York with her four children in the car. The eldest, 10, escaped through a window; the other three died.
