Based on the article which was about the father who killed his wife after finding out that his wife had bludgeoned their three children to death, it was clearly that the man lost his temper and hit his wife in a fit of rage which ended up killing her.
Controlling your anger is a very important thing to do. It is essential because you won't know what you might end up doing when you are angry. There are many steps on how you can control your anger.
Firstly is by talking to someone. If you've got a close friend - maybe a person who has known you for years - or even someone in your family, talk things out with them. How you play this depends on you but often the simple act of talking about your feelings helps diffuse them. Oftentimes it doesn't matter if the person you're talking to says little if anything.
Secondly, write about it. If talking to someone is too much for you or if your anger fits have got so bad that no-one will talk to you any more, then write it down. Write or type away without editing what you write. Just write constantly for between 5 and 15 minutes. This kind of "brain dump" lets your subconscious out into the open and you may be surprised at some of the things you write. There's no need to show anyone else what you've written so feel free to vent your anger on the paper or keyboard.
Thirdly, get some exercise. Anything from a brisk walk to a workout in the gym. Exercise releases "feel good" substances in our body called endorphins, so chances are that this will help you feel better. If you haven't got a gym membership and the weather doesn't lend itself to going outside, you can improvise a punch bag by using a pillow. Ideally not a feather pillow just in case you break through the casing - clearing up all those feathers won't help your anger.
