A South Australian father, Damien Little drove his white Ford station wagon off Port Lincoln wharf killing himself and his two sons. The bodies of one-year-old Hunter and four-year-old Koda were pulled from the water off Brennan Wharf in the Eyre Peninsula town on Monday. A rifle was also retrieved from the car.
Police have now confirmed that the father deliberately drove up to 50mph into the 30-meter deep water. Members of the Port Lincoln community are grieving these unfortunate deaths and have left flowers and teddy bears on the edge of the wharf.
Damien and his wife Melissa operated a floor-covering business and he also played for the Lincoln South Football Club. Club president Brenton Dennis said he was respected and well -liked and you couldn’t have asked for a better bloke.
