                            SEKALI pandang, Damien Little merupakan jejaka Australia biasa. Menetap di Adelaide, Little hidup aman bersama isteri dan dua orang anak lelaki yang comel.

Beliau juga masyhur dalam kalangan masyarakat setempat sebagai jurulatih pasukan bola sepak Lincoln South.

Sebab itulah apabila Little mengambil keputusan untuk membunuh diri dengan memandu kereta melepasi dermaga di Port Lincoln, ahli keluarga dan rakan-rakannya sukar menerima hakikat.

Lebih menyedihkan, Little turut membawa dua orang anaknya - Koda yang berusia empat tahun dan Hunter yang berusia setahun - di dalam kereta tersebut.

Jasad mereka bertiga ditemui bersama-sama dengan kereta tersebut yang tenggelam sedalam 30 meter di Teluk Boston, enam jam selepas dia menjunamkan kereta dari dermaga ke dalam air, lapor The Guardian.

Isteri beliau, Melissa kini berada dalam jagaan ahli keluarga.

Menurut Datuk Bandar Port Lincoln, Bruce Green, masyarakat setempat masih lagi cuba untuk menerima berita tersebut.

“Pada mulanya mereka tidak percaya kemudian perasaan itu bertukar kepada sedih,” ujar Green. “Ada banyak perkara sensitif yang perlu dijaga di sini, terutamanya keluarga dan rakan-rakan mangsa. Kami semua bersedih dengan kejadian ini," katanya.

Menurut pesuruhjaya hak mangsa Australia Selatan, Michael O’Connell, kes bunuh-bunuh diri ini sememangnya mengejutkan namun pada masa yang sama beliau mengingatkan agar tidak ada sesiapa yang menimbulkan spekulasi.

“Kita tidak tahu apa yang menyebabkan Damien bertindak sedemikian dan spekulasi tidak akan membantu keluarga Little dan masyarakat Port Lincoln,” tegas O’Connell.
Masyarakat setempat telah menjadikan pelabuhan tersebut sebagai tempat memperingati kehilangan keluarga berkenaan dengan meninggalkan barangan seperti jambangan bunga, patung beruang, dan kad ucapan.

Port Lincoln wharf deaths: Damien Little and sons had gunshot wounds before car entered water

      Updated            January 08, 2016 15:42:31         

Two children and their father all had gunshot wounds before their car was driven off the wharf at Port Lincoln in SA, police have said.

Police said autopsies on Damien Little and his sons revealed they had all been shot before the car entered the water.

A coronial investigation is ongoing and issues including domestic violence and mental health will form part of the report for the coroner.

Police have previously described the incident as a suspected murder-suicide.

Little drove the white station wagon off Brennan's Wharf at high speed early on Monday, plunging into up to 30 metres of water.

A rifle was recovered from the vehicle.

The deaths shocked the local community, where Little was a popular member of a local football team, with Mayor Bruce Green describing it as "one of the saddest days in our history".

A growing memorial of floral tributes and other items such as teddy bears on the wharf has since been moved to a nearby location.

Damien's wife and the boys' mother, Melissa Little, said her husband loved his two children very much.

Precious boys and sweetheart lost, mother saysIn a statement about her loss and how she would like her family remembered, she said: "Damien was my childhood sweetheart who became my loving husband".

"Damien valued and appreciated our close-knit family, he put us first, we were his whole world. He spent every hour providing quality time and teaching the boys how to live and grow.

"He spent every hour providing quality time and teaching the boys how to live and grow.

"Damien I loved you so much you have left a huge hole in my heart, our memories I will cherish forever. You will not be forgotten.

"My wish is for Damien to be remembered as a well-respected and valued member of our family and our community.
      
"My two precious boys have left this world way too soon and my heart is broken.

"I will miss them and think about them each and every day. Their futures were full of endless possibilities.

"Koda had the biggest heart, so loving and caring. He always loved a hug, had so much enthusiasm and was a willing helper.

"Hunter was such a happy, content and smiling baby. His laughter was infectious and his cheeky little personality was just beginning to emerge."

We saw him spiral into a dark space
By Andrew Hough
DAMIEN Little wanted to be the “perfect” father to his two young sons and a dependable husband for his wife — who was his teenage sweetheart and best friend, his parents say.

But for the past three years, the seemingly loving Port Lincoln family man, 34, secretly battled inner demons as relatives and close friends noticed a change in his demeanour and personality. Despite his family’s best efforts in urging him to seek help, the hardworking labourer, truckie and successful football player and coach succumbed to his mental illness this week.

In a tragic turn of events that has left his family devastated, and the nation reeling, Little died alongside his sons, Koda, 4, and 10-month-old Hunter, after he drove his white Ford station wagon from the main wharf of the Eyre Peninsula fishing town.

His grieving parents, Sue, 58 and Ken, 67, yesterday told The Advertiser of their distress after their son, a qualified carpet layer and experienced B-double petrol tanker driver, spiralled into a “dark” space from the fun-loving and “vibrant” young boy who grew up on a Port Kenny farm.

Speaking at their Port Lincoln home of 22 years — under a beaming picture of Koda and surrounded by other family photographs — Mrs Little urged others with depression, or any other mental illness, to seek help. “He was a much-loved member of the community and very much loved by his family ... I just don’t think he realised how much people loved him,” said Mrs Little, who was being supported by her family including sons Nathan, 37, Shannon, 36, Kynan, 31 and Aaron, 29.

“He was very particular about everything he did. I think he wanted to be perfect — he wanted to be a perfect father and husband. He wanted to do everything right. He was very hard on himself. He wanted to live a perfect life. Over the past three years he had a bit of a problem, we had noticed a change. When we saw (it) the whole family tried to help him. He had a lot of people offering help. We tried to help him, we all did. But you can’t help somebody who can’t help himself.”

Mrs Little said the events of early Monday morning were unfathomable. She added: “He obviously wasn’t himself that day. No one will ever know why he did it. But he is our son and we loved him dearly. He was a beautiful kid, loving, caring. We are just broken. He had a wonderful relationship with his wife.

She really is a wonderful lady and a wonderful wife to him. My heart goes out to her. She has lost everything. I never heard him say a bad word against her. They were amazing parents and she was one of the old- fashioned mothers, in the very best way.”

Victims’ Rights Commissioner Michael O’Connell said it was important not to speculate or jump to conclusions regarding the incident, and people should be careful not to victim-blame. He said: “The investigation is ongoing; and it likely will ultimately reveal why this happened.”
