Title: Mistress reveals plots that led to a senior enlisted sailor’s brutal attacks
Post by: Foxy Brown on October 02, 2009, 11:31:06 AM

Master Chief Petty Officer John W. Bench Jr. appeared to be a model sailor on the rise, headed for a new assignment carrying greater status and expanded responsibilities.

But on Aug. 30, just a week before he was to become command master chief of the U.S. Navy’s Command Task Force 76, Bench killed his son, bludgeoned his wife with a baseball bat and injured his daughter in their home on Sasebo Naval Base, Japan.

Then Bench fled on his motorcycle and veered into a bus on an expressway. He stood up and was struck and killed by an oncoming car.

That much of the violent story is public knowledge.

The rest, it turns out, is even darker.  (http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=65072)
