Stoned them to death for no reason?is this some sort of insanity?

Was there no reason why this henious crime was committed? Could it be that man is psychologically derained? Coz this doesn't make sense even for a bit.

because the wife ran away

If it was in advanced country, the children would still be alive, because the authority will ensure that they do not fall into the wrong hands (father or mother).
