Re: Man Decapitates 5yr Sister And Kills Other, Before Being Shot Dead
Teen victim of Massachusetts brother's stabbing attack remembered as strong young woman
MILTON, Mass. - With her long hair and model's poise, 17-year-old Samantha Revelus exuded confidence when she recited an original poem Saturday afternoon about a strong woman who stood up to "ignorant souls."
An hour after she finished rehearsal for an upcoming poetry reading, Samantha was dead on the floor of her family's home. She had been stabbed, police say, by her 23-year-old brother. Kerby Revelus then decapitated his 5-year-old sister as her birthday cake from the day before sat on the kitchen table, before turning on his 9-year-old sister, who called police.
Responding officers broke down the door and shot him dead. The first one inside had witnessed Bianca's beheading.
Sarafina was hospitalized Sunday with defensive wounds to her hands and stab wounds in her abdomen and one of her legs.
"In policing, we see the raw human emotion every day, but to think that a human being could afflict such an atrocious, violent act on his own family is unbelievable," Milton police Chief Richard G. Wells Jr. said Sunday. "When I walked up to the first officer (on the scene), I could see the whole story right in his face. This just told me that this was something very bad."
Investigators believe Revelus had been agitated since Friday night, when he got in a fistfight with a neighbor in this tony suburb that is also home to Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. Revelus, investigators believe, may have targeted Samantha in the fallout from the episode.
"Blows were exchanged," Wells said. "I don't know the cause of it, but we're confident that did happen. He had been agitated in the hours that followed that, going into the day and last night."
Samantha's classmates referred to her by her nickname, "Princess," and remarked at her grace, class and friendliness. She had been one of about 20 students who had been at the high school Saturday afternoon to rehearse for a poetry jam on Thursday. Samantha also had practiced for a school fashion show earlier that morning.

This is worse than any horror film I can remember. Respects and sympathies to the remaining family and friends.

To have kids that age makes this all the more horrific. A 5-year-old trusts you, looks to you to make them safe, care for them, LOVE them.
This dude should be put away for life. The other inmates will take care of him. They don't take kindly to crimes against kids. This kind of criminal even angers other criminals.

^^ He was shot dead, but yeah, would have been better to punish him cruelly for life. Although he's gone now, and has to answer to his own maker for punishment. Wierd though, at 23 people have problems, but I would think rarely at that age take it out on family. Especially a 5 year old sister. He must have had psychological issues or not been right. It's no excuse, but usually that's done by younger people, like 15 & under it seems. Fuck him, I'm sorry for his sisters though. RIP
