Chilling Facebook post of man accused of killing partner and kids

He proclaimed you were “no longer a man” once you hit a woman, then allegedly killed his partner and her two children.

The Adelaide man accused of the triple murder of his partner and her two children posted about domestic violence on Facebook just weeks before the attack.

Steven Peet, 30, was charged with three counts of murder yesterday after police found the bodies of his girlfriend Adeline Rigney-Wilson, 29, and her six-year-old daughter and five-year-old son in a house in Hillier, north of Adelaide.

Peet allegedly killed his partner and her kids after a domestic dispute, despite posting anti-domestic violence messages on Facebook as recently as February.
