A father's betrayal





Jason Lees murdered his son by throwing him off the Storey Bridge. He was a shattered man after the breakup-up of his marriage but instead of taking his own life, he woke his sleeping son in the middle of the night, drove to Kangaroo Point, strapped him into the baby seat of a bicycle, cycled to the Storey bridge and threw him off. He then jumped after him.






A neighbour said yesterday that she saw two-year-old Brad wrap his arms around his weeping father on the back stairs of their Brisbane home where wife Danielle, a psychologist, was no longer living.


Lees, originally from Canada, was a popular teacher at a private school and everyone who knew him said he had everything to live for. Anglican Church Grammar School headmaster Jonathan Hensman described the former teacher as "enthusiastic, passionate and an honour to the profession".


"He loved his little son - he was the apple of his eye," one friend said.
