Mr Clarke said looking back, there were little signs over the years that things were wrong in his sister's relationship with Baxter."There were a few things but you didn't see, obviously, what we've seen now. You couldn't have seen that from the start."With attempts to rationalise the murder of Hannah Clarke and her children, we risk blaming the monster and not the man, Rowan Baxter, and the society that allowed these murders to unfold.
Mr Clarke said his brother-in-law's controlling nature was more obvious in the last two or three years. "He was the type of person that had to win everything, had to be the best at everything, really didn't like when he wasn't," he said."To be one of those people, it does make you selfish, and that was it. It was all about him.""Hannah had her suspicions that he might try something to her, but we all thought, 'No, he couldn't'.
"It was just a vicious attack to make her suffer as long as he could. And that was it. It was just — I still can't get over it."
The brother states the husband was a blubbering mess ... so clearly a human in deep pain . If as a society we demonise this man as the devil like medieval children & continue to avert our eyes from the full picture , DV will not be helped , but hindered .

Bettina Arndt's Order of Australia under review over Hannah Clarke comments | Sky News AustraliaMen’s rights activist Bettina Arndt could be stripped of her Order of Australia over comments she made about murdered mother Hannah Clarke and her three children. \n\nMs Arndt congratulated a Queensland detective for keeping an open mind after he appeared to suggest the woman’s husband could have been driven to his breaking point before dousing petrol on his family and setting them alight in Brisbane on Wednesday. \n\nThe Governor-General’s office confirmed Ms Arndt’s award would be reviewed by an independent board, a decision which has been welcomed by MPs on both sides of politics. \n\nLiberal Senator Sarah Henderson said she would write to the council and request the award be cancelled. \n\nSpeaking to Sky News on Monday, Senator Henderson said “the comments were abhorrent” and she had 'brought the Order into disrepute'. \n\nLabor MP Peter Khalil described Ms Arndt’s comments as “disgraceful” and supported the independent review. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia We don't even dare ask the question is it could possibly offend. Real men in Australia support Betinna against the PC brigade. Good.

BREAKING: PM’s emotional tribute to Hannah Clarke | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison choked back tears as he spoke about Hannah Clarke and her children during an emotional tribute to the family in parliament.\n\n “In your grief you have every right to be angry, furious, because everything we have done to protect women and children across this country did not protect Hannah and her children from this evil,” Mr Morrison said. \n\n“Reflect again on these murders, how and where the system failed her and her children. \n\nOpposition Leader Anthony Albanese also rose to make a statement about the family, urging the parliament to not let their “horrific” deaths be their whole story. \n\n“Yet again children have been robbed of their futures by a father who betrayed what should have been the most powerful bond of all between a parent and their child,” he said. \n\n“We must hold onto their names, hold onto the image those four faces, so happy because they were with each other.'\n\n Unless anything drastically changes it's just all crocodile tears!!!!! Yer that's right only the lefties/greens are allowed feelings these days, not the evil right Morrison turns tears on and off like his DV funding.
