This breaks my heart.

Wonder why he spared his wife?

Because that was the cruelest thing he could do to her. She has now had everything taken from her. Horrible, horrible. God bless the poor woman.

He didn't "spare" his wife - he punished her by killing all the kids. That's what the man in BC did a couple of weeks ago, too. Set the house on fire with all the kids inside and held his estranged wife back from rescuing them while she lost her 6 children and everything she owned in an arson inferno.

Wonder why he spared his wife?

My bet is that he didn't kill his ex wife because he wanted her to feel the lifelong pain about having all of her children murdered.

"Wonder why he spared his wife?"

I could only guess. Maybe to make her suffer for the rest of her life?

I just lost my job today. My wife stays home and raises our 2 year old and 5 month old. However, reading this story puts my troubles in perspective. Also, I could never think about harming my wife and kids, which would include keeping myself alive for as long as possible.

Wonder why he spared his wife?

The chinese have a proverb, and I'm paraphrasing, which states that there can be no greater curse upon a man ( and in this case, a woman ) than to have to bury his child. For me, as it would be for all decent people, it would be a far greater pain than death itself. I can think of no greater pain that could be wrought upon me.

He didn't.
