Australian dad kills son after omelette rowSTUFF After an argument about a omelette and the family dog, a Melbourne man calmly walked inside and fired two fatal rounds into his son's chest. (File photo)Twenty minutes after an argument with his son about a burnt omelette, Peter John Smith assembled his shotgun, walked calmly inside and fired two fatal rounds into his son's chest. Andrew Smith was 30 years old, a father of two little boys and several weeks into his latest attempt at getting off drugs. He'd spent the afternoon having a few drinks in the backyard of his family's suburban Melbourne home with mum Kathleen and later his dad, and had gone inside with her to cook omelettes for tea. In an Australian Supreme Court plea hearing crown prosecutor Mark Rochford QC said Andrew went outside and tossed a burnt omelette on the ground, upsetting Smith who thought their dog might get sick.
