UK man who killed his daughter kills himself
Father killed daughter then posted on Bebo to pretend she was alive:
How’s this for a bastard?
47-year-old Tony Couchman of England killed his 19-year-old daughter Victoria. He allegedly blamed her for his son’s vehicular death in 2005 and that is believed to be the reason he killed her. Kids found her skull in the woods in October of 2008.
To try and cover up the crime it is believed that Couchman went on his daughter’s Bebo account and posed as her imitating the way teens speak. However his murderous love for his son may have been his undoing as he sent messages to his son’s friends as Victoria asking them to take the pictures of his son off their profiles and was rather rude about which people say was not Victoria’s nature.
To top it all off Couchman killed himself in his cell the day before his trial was to start. When this happens I usually say he took the coward’s way out which he did. However since there is no death penalty in England I say thanks for saving the British taxpayers some money.

Why did he blame the daughter when the news article said she was a passenger, not the driver? Was the boy driving without a license? 17 seems old enough to have one, but I don’t know England’s laws. What a terrible tragedy for Vicky. And, where is her little daughter? This article leaves a lot of unanswered questions. But, dad’s suicide makes him look guilty of murder.
