House of Horror: Australian House where eight children Killed to be Demolished

The house where an Australian mother allegedly killed eight children, most of them her own, will likely be demolished in keeping with indigenous culture to make way for a memorial, a government official said today.
 

Thaiday is the mother of the four boys and three of the girls who were slain. The eighth child was her niece.

 

The Queensland government agreed to the demolition of the home because of the horrific nature of the killings and in keeping with indigenous cultural beliefs, Queensland MP Gavin King said.
 

"After extensive consultation we will remove the house behind me," King said as he spoke to the media in a park where the dead children used to play.

 

King said the government would liaise with the community on what form a memorial would take.

Thaiday was charged on Sunday with eight counts of murder over the deaths of the children, aged between two and 14 years.
