Cottle was committed for trial for maliciously murdering his two children. Evidence disclosed unhappy marital relations. Cottle was addicted to drink, and suspected and was jealous of his wife. A Sydney cable on May 13 said that after visiting friends with his wife and children, a man named George Cottle, 29 years of age, took his two sons, aged five and three respectively, for a walk. A few minutes later the three were found in a back lane, the man with his throat cut, and his two children lying dead beside him, their heads almost severed. Cottle was not expected to live.
