But Justice Lebel dismissed the children’s concerns. She agreed with Mr. Perisic’s contention that under international law their “habitual residence” was Texas, where they had lived a total of 137 days, and they should be returned there to let the courts determine their fate.

They were uprooted from school — Danyela’s Grade Six graduation dress went unworn — and sent to live with their father.

“They do not wish to go back so they will certainly be perturbed,” Justice Lebel wrote. “However, these children are intelligent and capable of coping. They are not being returned to a place where they will be in danger.”

The brother, Nenad Perisic, told Houston TV station KHOU on Tuesday that his brother “was a man of his word” because he had warned his wife. “He told her a couple of months ago, ‘If you don’t get together, you know what I’m going to do to the kids. They can go over my dead body to Montreal,’ ” the brother said.

On Sunday evening, Zivorad Subotic, the priest at Montreal’s Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church, received a call from a distraught Predrag Perisic, who had been a parishioner when he lived in Montreal. He asked the priest to call his wife and tell her he would kill the children and commit suicide if she did not stop the legal proceedings,” Mr. Subotic said.

“I told him you don’t have the right to kill even yourself, or your kids. But he was very much out of his mind, I think. . . . He was so desperate.” He relayed the message to Ms. Vucerakovich and gave her the phone number from which Mr. Perisic had called. He did not call police but was contacted by a Montreal detective on Monday and filed a report.

A Canadian national received two 99-year prison sentences on Dec. 14 after pleading guilty to murdering his 10-year-old son and shooting his 12-year-old daughter...

Perisic, a Serbian native, pled guilty on Oct. 4 of this year to first degree murder in the shooting death of his son and guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a family member in the shooting of his daughter...

Countiss explained that Perisic and his wife were having marital problems and his wife filed for divorce in Montreal, Canada. A Canadian court ordered Perisic to deliver custody of their two children to his wife in Houston. “Instead, he took the children out of school and went into hiding,” said Countiss... The task force located Perisic and the children in a home on Lake Livingston at 21 Red Bird Ln. “When they attempted to arrest him, he allegedly opened fire on the children, killing his 10-year-old son and seriously injuring his 12-year-old daughter,” said Countiss.
