Fired government worker murdered his children and wife after his request for a threesome drove her to lesbian affair'

A man killed his wife and children after introducing her to a lesbian partner that broke up their marriage, a court heard.



According to prosecutors, James Kraig Kahler wanted to introduce another woman into the couple's sex life - leading Karen Kahler to begin a lesbian affair that he then blamed for the breakdown of their marriage.



A defence attorney for Kansas-based , who could face the death penalty if convicted, later dismissed that claim as 'a fantasy.



Kahler's attorneys contend he had been mentally ill for months.



They say he suffered hallucinations and was obsessed with the relationship that his wife, Karen, had with another woman and her pursuit of a divorce.



Dan Pingelton, an attorney who represented Karen Kahler in their divorce, testified that she told him her husband introduced her to Sunny Reese of Weatherford, Texas.



James Kraig Kahler and his attorneys say Mrs Kahler's relationship with Reese broke up the marriage.



The killings occurred months after Kahler was fired from his job as the director of the water department in Columbia, Missouri, Mo.



There are a lot of factors that could have contributed to Jim losing it. He was a public servant - that alone could make you crazy. He lost his job. He was a sexual deviant. His wife left him for her female lover. Come again? Yup the lesbian lover does it every time.
