Killer dad a ‘terrorist in our house’ SON SLAMS EVIL TYRANT

THE sons of a dad who shot and killed his wife and daughter have branded him a sick “terrorist”.

Lance Hart gunned down wife Claire days after she decided to leave him.

He also blasted 19-year-old Charlotte in an ambush outside a leisure centre before turning the gun on himself.

Son Luke told the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire show yesterday that his dad had intended to murder all three of his children.

He said: “Our father was a terrorist. He was planning to kill all of us, three weeks before killing them.

“He had nothing to live for other than killing us.”

The 27-year-old went on: “It’s pure evil, he hated us.

“He had the mentality of a terrorist, he was willing to kill himself to achieve what he achieved.”

Luke added: “He was vitriolic and a bully who would be verbally abusive and threaten us.” Mrs Hart had left her home in Moulton, Lincs, to move to a new property with the help of her family.

The brothers said their dad had cut their mother off from all her friends and family.

He had Claire’s keys and passport locked in a safe.

Luke’s brother Ryan, 26, said: “We didn’t realise the danger of our situation. Physical violence is not the only sign of domestic abuse.”
