The lottery winner from the UK killed two of his sons and wounded her husband in the back, and then killed himself after an argument over drugs and prostitutes.
43-year-old David Stokes was furious after his 47-year-old wife, Sally, asked him about the secret cell phone she found hidden in the kitchen.

On the device there was a notice about the order of the escort, and browser histories — queries about pills to date rape.
After the first clashes Sally left the house but returned later. It was at this point the husband hit her with a rolling pin and tried to smother with a pillow.
«He looked like the devil. I thought now I die, — said Sally Sun, during the investigation in November 2016. — He said it was my fault.»
David told her that their sons, 5-year-old Matthew and 11-year-old Adam, are «with someone», but actually they both lay dead in bed.
As a result the man who has won over $50 million in the lottery, took hostage his wife, which led to a five-hour siege of the police.
It ended when David hit his wife in the back, and she managed to escape to a safe place, where she waited for police and paramedics.
«The look on his face was like satisfaction, as if he had won, — Sally told the investigators about the moment when he stabbed her. — I will never forget.»
When the police stormed the house of David was found with a knife in his chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
«I love Adam and Matthew, and soon we all will be together again,» wrote the killer in his farewell note.
He also addressed his wife: «Sal, I really regret everything I did that hurt you… If you left it, we could be happy forever.»
