US father Josh Powell blows himself up with two young children
Powell killed himself and two sons days after custody hearing, as detectives continue hunt for his missing wife SusanDays after a judge ruled against him in a child custody hearing, a father and his two young sons were killed on Sunday when police said he appeared to intentionally blow up a house with all three inside – a tragic ending to a bizarre case that began more than two years ago when the man’s wife went mysteriously missing in Utah. A social worker brought the two boys to Josh Powell’s home in Graham, Washington for what was to be a supervised visit, and Powell let his sons inside – but then blocked the social worker from entering, the Graham fire and rescue chief, Gary Franz, said.
