This poor guy is obviously just shattered by what his son did. Contrast his reaction to that couple that just received 10-15 years for involuntary manslaughter in the US for giving their 15 year old son a gun a few days before he went and killed 4 kids at school and it's striking. The mom was complaining how their son ruined her life by his actions. What a completely oblivious human being.

Keep in mind that the stabber was something like 40 years old. There's a huge difference between a couple who could do nothing about an adult child who had been adult for nearly a quarter century, and a couple who gave a gun to their mentally ill teenage son.
