The gentler side of killer mom's estranged husband (Canada)
“Daddy, daddy!” cried little Serena Campione, her chubby little arms raised in the air, running with glee when she spotted her father.
Leo Campione quickly wiped the telltale tears from his eyes and smiled broadly as he raised his little daughter in the air and then hugged her tightly.
“My goodness, you’re getting bigger!” Leo is quoted as saying in family court records. “You’re so beautiful.”
It was the first time in over a month since the 33-year-old Toronto father had seen his children.
And it was the last time he would see them alive. Two weeks later they would be dead, drowned by their mother, Elaine Campione.
The jury is now deciding the mother’s fate on two charges of first-degree murder.
