Tough Week for the Elderly




We reported earlier that the UK's elderly have been burning books for heat, sadly, the crazy does not stop there.

This 71 year old german grandmutter killed her grandson because she did not want him to grow up in a divorced home in the United States.

 After drowning her grandson in the bathtub, the woman identified as Marianne Bordt from Nufringen near Stuttgart vainly attempted to commit suicide by throwing herself in the ocean.

Her husband came home to find the door open and his wife (pictured above) gone. While she planned on committing suicide herself, she returned later "in wet underwear from the beach".


Thankfully he turned her in.

Very sad.

  1. That is very unfortunately. I wonder if there were any warning signs ahead of time?

  2. It is very sad, the article didn't mention anything about priors for this woman, thankfully her husband had the sound of mind to make her turn herself in. Hopefully she'll get help.
