Father poisoned children in car

Two children and their father found dead in a car in an isolated beauty spot died from carbon monoxide poisoning, police have confirmed.

Brian Philcox, 52, is thought to have taken his children to the Conwy Valley on Father's Day and gassed them.

His body was found in a Land Rover with his son Owen, aged three, and his daughter Amy, aged seven.

Police said all three from Runcorn in Cheshire had died from poisoning due to inhaling car exhaust fumes.

He was very, very upset by the situation to do with the courts and the access to the children, because he's going through a lot of turmoil with the divorce," he said.

"But he loved his children. It's very hard to believe he's done this."

Mr Philcox's neighbours said he had threatened violence.

"Last week he was actually bragging, when I walked past, he was actually saying, 'I'll burn the house before I give it... up or the kids to her'," one neighbour said.

This is to hurt his soon to be ex-wife. I wish that neighbor would've said something to the authorities, but I guess a statement like that isn't looked at as closely as it should be.

He loved the kids so much he'd rather see them dead! :madranting94dp:

I will never understand!
