BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. (AP) - A Mobile County district judge
denied bond today for a man accused of throwing four young children
to their deaths from an 80-foot-tall coastal bridge after a fight
with his wife.
37-year-old Lam Luong, who faces four counts of capital murder,
was shackled hand and foot and wore a bullet-proof vest amid heavy
security at the brief bond hearing. He was appointed a defense
attorney but no arguments were made on his behalf.
Authorities said Luong was charged in the deaths of the
children, who range in age from 4 months to 3 years, when he broke
down and confessed.
In denying bond, Judge Charles McKnight described the
allegations in the capital murder case as "heinous."
Outside the courtroom, District Attorney John Tyson Junior
declined to discuss details of the case, but said, "We believe he
killed the kids by tossing them off the bridge."
The appointed defense attorney unavailable for comment.
Meanwhile, boats were back into waters around the Dauphin Island
bridge today to resume the search for bodies, but divers and
helicopters were kept on hold because of heavy fog.

I pray to GOD that this man finds Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. Then we can all spend eternity holding hands in heaven and knowing that we’re all forgiven.

This whole thing just breaks my heart. What this man did was unthinkable, and be it drugs, or whatever other lame excuses that might come forth, it is just a sick sad shame.

It just sickens me to think of what kind of heartbreak the mother must be going through. Getting away from an abusive relationship is not an easy thing to do. Until youve lived through it, you shouldnt pass judgement on the mother. Do you realize that pretty much the last 4-5 years of her life was spent being pregnant back to back with these babies? They were her life.

And as a non english speaking mother with 4 children to care for, one of which had a heart condition, just simply walking away because your husband is abusive or has a drug problem is just not as easy said as done. If he killed all 4 kids without hesitation, whos to say what would have happened had she left him. Had that been the case, the searchers might be searching for 5 bodies and not 4…

Its just sad… so very sad.

The Sickest part about this is that he has no remorse once so ever! HOW can you take 4 living breathing children drive for 20 mins. knowing what you are about to do and still go through with it? And where is the mother in all of this I understand that she does not speak english but is there anyone to speak on her behalf? How is she? Where is she? I Pray to GOD that this man gets everything that is coming to him!!! I pray for the family and friends and everybody and anybody that is connect to this family! I hope that they can find these babies and give closer to the family and lay theses babies to rest the proper way!!  Thank God we have such wonderful service men and volenteers that are willing to take every spare minute they can to help bring this horrible situatiob to an end!! if you pass them or see them let them know how much they are appreciated for takeing time away from their own family to help others!!!!

I believe he should die the same way those poor innocent angels did. But they need to make him look at the babies pictures one at a time and after he looks at one hold his head under water then right before its too late bring him up to see another picture and dunk again till he has seen all four babies pics.
Then on the forth when he thinks he will be brought back up just hold him there let him feel what those poor babies did.

I just hope and pray this guy does not get off on a insantity plea. Because sure enough he had enough sense to take the life of four innocent babies ,but never crosssed his mind to take his own life. I have no moral support for this guy, my heart goes out to the family, mother and others who may be touched by this tragedy.  I know he would have a court appointed lawyer and I just hope this is not a long drawn out case and a decision is made quickly on this. He does not deserve to waste our tax paying dollars on such criminal like this.

he doesnt need to see daylight for the rest of his life..they need to lock him up and throw away the key..those kids deserved a chance a life but drugs changed that quickly for them

I HOPE THIS SICKOO GETS WHAT HE DESEVRES…THAT IS HORRIBLE WHAT HE DID ON DRUGS OR NOT!!!
