A father posted a photo of himself with his children one hour before he killed them and himself.

The father, Humberto Christian Tovar, is believed to have been suffering from depression. He posted a picture of himself with his children – a 12-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son – an hour before he carried out a murder-suicide on Tuesday, leaving all three dead.

Mr Tovar and Jessica Forero Cardona divorced in August after 12 years of marriage. His mother, Luz Kuznitz, claims the man was suffering from bipolar disorder and was not taking his prescribed medication. “He didn't take his pills. He never took care of it. He never wanted to take medication therapy,” she told 10 News.

Apparently the condition was so troubling to Ms Kuznitz that she asked her son if he would “ever be able to harm Valeria and Matias”, the man's children.
