CCTV evidence emerges in Bali children deaths
Security footage showed police how a father's actions led to his two children's deaths in Bali.
Bali police reviewed CCTV footage of events before a six-year-old boy and four-year-old girl died. The father, an Australian, allegedly removed one camera during the incident.
Police say the footage showed a disturbance before the children died. The father allegedly killed them.
The family had a long history of marital strain. In 2022, the mother filed for divorce but cancelled it after her husband's behaviour improved.
Police noted the father had never had a mental health check. The mother had reported his high anxiety levels to authorities.
