The heartbreaking news of two young boys found dead in their home in the NSW Blue Mountains has left their father, Nick Smith, and the entire community in shock. Nick, who arrived at the Faulconbridge house on Tuesday, shared a statement this morning expressing his deep pain and sorrow.
Nick described the loss of his two sons, nine-year-old Ben and 11-year-old Russell, as unimaginable and devastating. He paid a tender tribute to the boys, highlighting their happy and outgoing personalities, and how much they were loved by their family and friends. The boys were typical young boys, who enjoyed playing sports, spending time with their friends, and cuddling with their beloved dog, Max.
The boys' mother, Trish Smith, 42, is currently the primary suspect in the case, although she has not been charged yet. Trish was present at the home when the bodies were found and was discovered with self-inflicted injuries. She was immediately arrested by the police and is currently under their guard in the hospital.
Nick expressed his struggle to comprehend the tragic events that led to the loss of his two sons. He also thanked the community for their support and kindness during this difficult time. He requested the media to respect their privacy and allow the family to grieve in peace.
According to the police, their previous interactions with Trish were for minor matters, and no one could have predicted this horrific outcome. Trish had previously appeared on an online podcast, where she talked about urban agriculture, and how it had helped her mental health. She had also turned their family home into a farm, which was a recent development.
In light of this tragedy, it is important to remember that support is available for those who may be facing similar struggles. The National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service at 1800RESPECT and organizations like Lifeline and Beyond Blue are always there to provide assistance and support. With the community coming together during this difficult time, we can only hope for the healing and recovery of everyone involved.
