The Gilbert family have cared for the children since the killing and Robert said the stress of coping with the aftermath had left them all "at breaking point". 

He told the court Jean's Buddhist faith meant everything to her: "She lived by the Buddhist principles of peace and happiness but sadly she did not die in this way. 

The court heard harrowing evidence that the couple's daughter begged her father to stop killing her mum. 

The girl also gave her mother the kiss of life as she lay dying in the family's sitting room. 

Bourke admitted stabbing Jean to death but told them: "It was not my intention to kill her - just to cause her pain and suffering as she had caused me to suffer." 

She lived by the Buddhist principles of peace and happiness but sadly she did not die in this way

Closing his eyes, he put his hands up to his face as if to avoid hearing the words his wife had written to her lover. She had told him: "I have never felt about anyone the way I feel about you. I didn't know love like this was possible, I really didn't, but guess what, it's f***ing amazing."

"She lived by the Buddhist principles of peace and happiness, but sadly she did not die in this way." Oh, please. Doesn't traditional Buddhism have principles like right action, right speech, doing no harm, compassion, acting with integrity, proper sexual conduct, considering the possible consequences of your actions? Can we see ANY of these principles in this woman's actions? Oh right. She practiced Ikedaism -- how would she know anything about Buddhism? 

Nah....screwing around on your husband...."Guess what, it's f***ng amazing!" 

I wonder how amazing her children feel right now." -- Tsukimoto
