Without being frivolous over what is an appalling event it is understandable that there is not much company or union advice when it comes to your child being killed either accidentally or deliberately. The probability is that there was some level of toxicity in the relationship whether him or her and possibly drugs or alcohol could be involved. While I agree from my own experience that British embassy or consulate staff are fairly useless, with the best will in the world I don’t know what help you could expect in a situation so awful as this.
Whilst I 100% agree with you, my own experience with British Embassy staff and death was worse than bloody useless.
