God have mercy deliver ur children
what a tragedy, may God deliver us from evil
Madness or not, there is method in the killings that suggest the assailant might have a deep seated grudge against this particular unit of his family tree. There should be an investigation to eliminate grudge as a motive. Why did he not attack his own branch first if they all stay in the same place etc? And to think the mother of that unit was also in line for termination but only escaped similar fate by hair of the teeth by special Grace of God.
Mchweeeew! Just terminating people like that! Investigate his actions a beg!!!
