What in the hell is going on?!

MILTON, Mass. – A man on a rampage fatally stabbed his 17-year-old sister, decapitated his 5-year-old sister during her birthday party and then headed toward his 9-year-old sister before officers shot him amid what their chief described as "a killing field."

There is no clear motive yet for the events that unfolded about 5 p.m. Saturday in this tony Boston suburb that is also home to Gov. Deval Patrick. But there is no doubt at the carnage wrought by 23-year-old Kerby Revelus against his three sisters in the two-family home they shared with their parents and grandmother.

Bianca was killed as a cake for her 5th birthday sat on the kitchen table. Sarafina, 9, dialed 911 and watched police shoot her brother as her elder sister, Samantha, lay dead on the floor.

Sarafina was hospitalized Sunday at the Boston Medical Center 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. told The Associated Press.

"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," Wells said.

Kerby Revelus had recently served jail time on a gun charge, Wells said, but the details would not be released until courts opened Monday. Police had been called to the same house in 2004 after a domestic violence report of Revelus allegedly punching one of the women living in the home, Wells said.

Saturday's attack came about 24 hours after Revelus had gotten into a fistfight with a man living next door, Wells said.

"Blows were exchanged," he 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."

Investigators believe that Revelus targeted Samantha, a 17-year-old senior at Milton High School, and fatally stabbed her with a household knife while their grandmother was doing laundry in the basement. At the time, the children's parents were away; their mother is a nurse at a Boston hospital, Wells said.

Her identity, as well as that of the father, were not immediately available.

Sarafina, an elementary school student, called 911 just before 5 p.m. An officer on patrol in the neighborhood arrived within a minute, Wells said, and could hear an altercation inside as he reached the second floor. The 911 operator tried to persuade Sarafina to open the door, but when she did not, the officer broke through.


"As the officer entered the door, he decapitated (Bianca) in front of him," said Wells. "He actually walked into a killing field. He walked into such carnage, as far as the atrocity of it, I've never seen it."

Within moments, four officers were inside and two of them shot Revelus as he tried to get to Sarafina, Wells said. He fell still clutching the knife.

Details about the number of shots and who killed Revelus were pending the outcome of an autopsy Sunday.

Jocelyn Ashley, 18, who attended Milton High with Samantha, told The Boston Globe that Kerby Revelus was "a loner," but Samantha was friendly and excited about the prom.

Milton High School Principal John Drottar said Samantha was a member of the poetry club and planned to attend college this fall.

"She was a wonderful young lady, a great student, and just a sweetheart of a kid," Drottar said.

A two-hour grief counseling session was held at the school Sunday afternoon and will be offered Monday to students and employees, he said.

The officers involved in the case were placed on administrative leave and were receiving counseling from the Boston Police Department stress unit, Wells said.

Sorry if this is a dupe. I did do a search on 'sister', 'stab', and 'beheading'.

Holy crap.  I don't have the words.  

The crazies are really coming out lately.

Unbelievable, at leased no trial necessary.

Well at least he is dead. Muslim?

drugs is all i can think of that would make a person lose control to that effect and create a scene that grotesque. on your own family?  a 17 and 5 yr old girl???

Me either.

I just don't understand people. If you want to kill yourself then go for it. Knock yourself out. I'll call you a coward and go about my day without caring much that you left this world as a chickenshit. But don't take any innocent people with you. What the hell happened to a good old fashioned suicide? Who is the crazy shit who decided that "murder/suicide" was better than just plain suicide?

Damn, this makes me sick.

And I don't even know if this idiot had a death wish or was just sadistic as hell, but I'm tired of hearing about people killing their family/friends/neighbors/coworkers/strangers.

Wow that's horrible.

Are we going to see a ban on knives?

Damn,

Just terrible.

Hes rotting in hell.

There are a lot of male fucksticks out there, unfortunately, see the 'Pic of stupid' thread.

How about banning anti-depressants?  They are usually a common underlying but seldom mentioned variable in these types of incidents.


ETA:  At least they killed him.

that poor poor little girl.  

well, it has worked so well for The Englisha but, probably,,will be in the next AWB

How is the one surviving sister going to deal with losing all of her siblings in such a horrific way and seeing every bit of it?  Ugh.  And I can't imagine how the officer is going to deal with getting there literally 30 seconds too late.  He's going to be messed up.  

I wonder if there was ever a time in their family when that boy was normal and they had a good relationship or if he was always jacked up and they knew it.

Shit. That's about as crazy as it gets.

wow that is seriously fucked up. I feel bad for the girls, the murderous motherfucker better be burning in gay hell.

I drove down that street today. Milton is a nice ($$$) town but that area has some spillover from one of Boston's shittier neighborhoods less than a mile away. I know some of the guys at the scene and the media accounts are a sanitized version of what the officers saw.

Sad it went that far........another broken person.....at least no trial.

Glad they killed the asshole.

I noticed the friends and family in the video had "Caribbean" accents. Is decapitation somewhat common in the culture there in the islands?

Wish he would have been taken alive, and then tortured mercilessly.

From Boston PD's  website on 08/10/07:

http://www.bpdnews.com/2007/08/

Three Milton Residents Jerrell Graves, 19, Jaron O’Bannon, 24 and Kerby Revelus, 22 were all arrested and charged with Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Possession of Ammunition and Unlawful Possession of a Loaded Firearm.

Damn.











 
 
 

THOSE DAMN ASSAULT KNIVES, BAN THEM ALL!!!!!!!

while some people are just plain crazy I wouldn't be suprised if he were taking some sort of anti-depressant.

I do not like how it is written to make it sound like the 5 year old was decapitated while the officer was just standing there.  It takes some effort to cut a head off, so I imagine most, if not all of the work was already done before the officer showed up.

What a tramatic incident for all involved.  My heart goes out to the family and the officers who had to witness the scene.  They will never forget it.

Time to ban assault knives.

wow that is some f'd up shit right there i dont even know what is wrong with people.

F'ing savages

I have a hard time conceiving how any human can commit such acts. As a christian I always wonder if it isn't some sort of demon possession like spoken of in the bible.

That is some straight-up Michael Myers shit, right there.

Monsters ARE real.

Oh my.

Did you guys see the video of the mother falling to the ground and screaming?

I can't even imagine. My nephew died in a car accident and I *fainted* when I got the news. I just can't wrap my head around how it must feel to lose three children in a crime like this. :(

My heart breaks for the family. :(

30% of all knives purchased are for killing.......

studies have shown that most people that are commiting these heinous crimes are human.  <––- this study cost the .gov 10 billion dollars.

They have in UK.

Guns, knives, cars, a jug of gasoline and a match-  whatever they ban,  murders will still happen.:(

What is with the cutting off of heads?  Just killing someone isn't good enough anymore?

They're Haitian...Haiti is fucked up right now. Holds the title for most corrupt country in the Western hemisphere. Probably some voodoo shit.

Personally I believe it makes it easier to accept some supernatural element as the cause rather than believe the heinous things humans do to each other on a daily basis. Who knows what goes through someones mind like this scumbag or a mother who drowns her five children in a bathtub.



Princesse Revelus, 17 and sister Bianca, 5, were murdered in their Milton home Saturday.










 

Holy crap. Something out of a Friday the thirteenth movie.

WTF???  

Ban knives!

wouldn't suprise me at all.  Obama supporter?  you bet your ass.
