Father Gasses His Children on Fathers DayA father found gassed with his two children had been in despair over a bitter divorce battle.
Security guard Brian Philcox, 53, had lost his job and feared he would have to hand over his house to his estranged wife Evelyn, 37.
After picking up his daughter Amy and son Owen for a weekend access visit, he told his wife: 'I've left you a present. I'll make the papers, just you watch.'
He then drove his Land Rover to a country lane and attached a hose to the exhaust pipe, feeding it through the window before leaving the engine running.
In view of his message, it was initially suspected that Mr Philcox had left an explosive device to kill his wife, who had gone to live with her mother after leaving him.
Surrounding houses were evacuated as Army bomb disposal experts checked her mother's house in Runcorn, Cheshire, but found nothing.
The bodies of Mr Philcox, seven-year-old Amy, and three-year-old Owen were discovered on Father's Day huddled in the rear seat of the Land Rover in Tal-y-cafn, North Wales. All three died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Mr Philcox, who was chairman of the Federation of English Karate Organisations, had been due to attend a court hearing this week at which his estranged wife was seeking possession of the family house, which is 100 yards from her mother's home.
The pressure group Fathers 4 Justice confirmed that he had been in touch last week telling of his desperation. He had also told neighbours that the divorce had left him at the end of his tether and would leave him penniless.
He told one friend: 'I've lost my wife, I've lost my kids and I've lost my job. Now I'm going to lose my house. But I'd rather burn it down than see that [mod edit] get it.'
Last night bomb disposal teams exploded a suspect package sent to a family member in Runcorn. It was not thought to be an explosive device but will be examined by experts.
It was on Friday that Mr Philcox, who had regular access to his children, picked them up from their mother and was seen playing football with them in a park.
On Saturday he took them to the beauty spot of Llangollen in North Wales where they visited the miniature railway.
When he failed to return from the scheduled access visit at 7pm that evening their mother alerted the police who launched a hunt for the missing children - as well as calling in the bomb disposal team. The bodies were found on Sunday afternoon.
