A grief-stricken woman has bared her soul and revealed the emotional despair and horrific bad luck that still plagues her 10 years after a drunk billionaire killed her three children, triggering her husband’s suicide.

Jennifer Neville-Lake lost her three kids Daniel, 9, Harry, 5 and Milly, 2, after they were killed by drunk driver Marco Muzzo, in September 2015 in Vaughan, Ontario.

This coming Saturday will mark ten years since Muzzo sped through a stop sign and smashed into the family’s minivan.

Neville-Lake’s horror didn’t end with the death of her children and the subsequent trial however.

In 2022 her husband Edward took his own life at the age of 49 and in June of last year her home caught fire, destroying the urns holding her children’s remains.

Speaking with CP24, Neville-Lake described her life as being that of a ‘recluse’ adding that she feels like a ‘drain on society’.

She said: ‘Every dream that Edward and I had, that I was building with him, they’re all gone. Everything from career to my kids, so I’m trying to figure it out to be honest.

‘I need a lot of help to get out, to go places. I’m not as independent. I feel more as if I’m a drain on society, on the world. So, that’s what I see of myself today.’

According to Neville-Lake, she now relies on support groups of medical professionals which she said ‘keep me alive’. In the wake of her children’s deaths, she briefly considered suicide but said friends stopped her from harming herself.

It’s not just healthcare either, a band of friends and family as well as an online community help her daily as she moves forward in life without her own family.

‘They help me. They help me think, help me make decisions, help me survive and bring a lot of, how do you say, like color and light to my darkness’, she added.

In the immediate hours after the horrific smash that claimed the lives of her kids, she was placed under a 24-hour hold due to being a high risk of suicide.

She spoke of her horror after asking to see her son Daniel but: ‘because he was considered property of the coroner, he stopped being a person’, she told the outlet.

‘I didn’t have any rights to my child until they told me I could see him, until I was allowed to see him again.’

She continued: ‘And then Ed died. Came home, and he died, and there was nobody there. There was no one there that night.

‘So, since then, 24 hours, is something I have to consider. I understand it’s for my safety, and so co-operation is important, and so I do.’

Speaking on the house fire, which happened last year, Neville-Lake said: ‘I have a house I’m rebuilding. I have my children’s urns to bury with their dad soon.

‘My children sleep with my dad, and I got one that was like my dad’s, but smaller, and then I had little keepsake ones, glass tea-light ones, and those were the ones that were lost in the fire.

‘I’m going to inter them with their dad, and then when my time comes, I hope that they will be put with me and our family will be together again.’

According to Neville-Lake, she is also longing to hold her children in her arms again, which psychiatrists have told her is commonly known as skin hunger.

She said: ‘The longing to touch my living children again, because the last time I touched them, they were dead. And a dead body is very different than a living one.’

Neville-Lake finds some of the terminology surrounding death too stark to use, instead referring to her children’s memorials as their ‘forever beds.’ She has birthday parties at the cemetery where they are interred.

‘Cemetery’ and “graves” and coffins are such horrible words that do not belong with children, in my opinion.

‘We have those picnics and we celebrate them, and we donate what we bring. Same with Ed and same with my dad.’

Muzzo, who is a billionaire construction heir, was intoxicated at the time after travelling home from Toronto Pearson International Airport at the time.

He had been in Miami prior to that celebrating his bachelor party, he was sentenced to 10 years behind in prison in 2016 but was given full parole in February 2021.

He slammed into the driver’s side at a speed of over 50 miles per hour after having three-to-four drinks on his private jet. His blood-alcohol level was nearly three times over the limit.

Daniel died at the scene while Harry and Milly died together in a local children’s hospital shortly afterward after being declared brain dead.

The children’s grandmother, Neriza Neville, and great-grandmother, Joseina Frias, suffered severe injuries in the crash but survived.

He pleaded guilty to four counts of impaired driving causing death and two of impaired driving causing bodily harm.

At the time it was the harshest sentence handed down to a first time offender for drunk driving.

Muzzo had a previous conviction for public intoxication and multiple speeding offenses, reports the Toronto Star.

In May 2020, he was granted day release. The parole board extended that release in November 2020 and ordered that a meeting be heard discuss full parole.

During his parole, Muzzo had to abstain from alcohol and live in a halfway house. At hearing, the suspect said that he intended to never drink again.

At the time of his parole extension in November 2020, Neville-Lake wrote on Facebook that she was not surprised as she had ‘come to expect little from the justice system overall.’

She added: ‘As the man who destroyed my family gets closer to joining his, I face a holiday season that I no longer celebrate.’

In February 2021, he was granted full parole. His full release occurred on June 18, 2022. Muzzo’s sentence expires in July 2025.

At his parole hearing, Neville-Lake spoke of her own suicide attempts and said that she was pregnant at the time of the crash and miscarried around the time that her children were removed from life support.

Muzzo is the heir to a billion-dollar family construction business. Shortly after Edward’s suicide, a petition was launched to have the Muzzo name removed from two Toronto-area hospitals that received donations from his family.

Muzzo said in a statement through his lawyer in 2020: ‘I was careless and irresponsible when I made the choice to drink and drive.

‘There is no way that I can undo the damage that I have caused. I will live with this for the rest of my life.’

During his sentencing hearing, Neville-Lake said in part: ‘I don’t have anyone left to call me mom.

‘You killed all my babies. I miss my kids. I miss my dad. I want my old life back.
