"Three women were found bludgeoned to death with a hammer in two apartments on the city’s far North Side, and police had a suspect in custody Sunday."

The title of the thread isn't about the killing of the women. It's about this:

"They also found a man hitting himself on the head with a blunt object, apparently trying to kill himself, police spokeswoman Monique Bond said. "

Suicide by hammer... that's so pathetic.

I don't mean to make light of it, but really, I've never heard of that before.

The man and his former wife had "marital problems", but it doesn't specify along what lines. I wonder if physical abuse had played a part in the past or if his actions were sudden and unexpected.
