Out of something so horrific, something good will come out of it.
However, despite a murder conviction, the killer retains his guardianship rights over their children, ensuring he has a right to know where they live and to be involved in major decisions affecting their lives.
Mr French has campaigned for changes to the law around guardianship in cases where parents kill their children’s other parent, with the government bringing forward the General Scheme of the Guardianship of Infants (Amendment) Bill, 2025 earlier this year.
The bill would would see guardianship rights removed from anyone convicted of killing their partner or parent of their child.
It would allow an application to be brought to the District Court to remove guardianship rights from the perpetrator. This application should be sought within six months, with the court then ordering a guardian to be appointed for the child.

God you would have thought this would have been in force already…
Imagine the effect on children, families, grandparents allowing the killer control in how the children are brought up… beggars belief
