What would you do if your older son killed your younger son?

my friend, hannah, has two sons. their names are luke and tyler. they are two years apart. luke is perfectly normal but tyler was born with a rare genetic disorder called prader-willi syndrome. that condition involves mental retardation, learning difficulties, stubborness, temper tantrums and behaviour problems. he is obese because the part of the brain which tells you whether you are hungry or full does not work, so he is always hungry. tyler could eat himself to death if they allow him to. the fridge must be locked at all times. hannah works as a midwife at a private hospital. their father, sam, is a chiropractor. luke is very mature for his age. he is an extremely loving and responsible big brother. he picks up tyler after school each day and looks after him until their parents get home. nobody in the neighbourhood had ever seen a closer pair of brothers. oneday the unthinkable happened. luke murdered tyler! everybody was shocked. luke will be facing charges. on that afternoon, luke was already in a very bad mood after having an argument with his best friend. at home, tyler was screaming and having a huge fit. luke got frustrated and whacked his little brother on the head with his baseball bat. tyler fell unconscious and was rushed to the hospital, where he died. the whole family is confused and upset. what sort of support can i offer them? how should they deal with it?


    




Viva La Eire!
It sounds as if Luke's behaviour that day was totally out of character and, from a psychological point of view, was probably as a direct result of suppressed negative emotional feelings towards his brother, mainly a resentment that he must take so much care of him and be responsible beyond his years.
Luke's legal team will probably argue temp. insanity.

As for support, there isn't really much you can do, just let them know they are not alone, they have you as a friend and as someone who cares a great deal. if they need to talk they know you are there for them, if they need help with arrangements with court, a funeral, anything like that, let them know you are on hand and on call to offer every piece of conceivable help possible by you.
