MILTON, Mass. -- A 23-year-old man stabbed his three sisters with a kitchen knife, killing two and wounding a third Saturday afternoon, Milton police said.

Kirby Revelus was then shot and killed by police officers responding to the home at 7 Belvoir Road after the surviving girl called 911.

Killed were Samatha Revelus, 17, and her 5-year-old sister Bianca, police said. The 9-year-old sister who called police was taken to Boston Medical Center

Boy, you know it's bad when "4 Lincoln police officers had to be treated for stress and trauma after the attack" (link above)
What a horror. 3 dead children in 1 family- and 1 had to be shot by police to save another. Sounds like a bad horror flick. This young man must have been mentally ill. Makes you want some kind of explanation that makes sense.

OMG How sad so from what I read from the link it sounds as if the 5yr old just had a b-day since there was a cake with 5 candles. this is so very sad I have them all in my prayers

A bit more information in this article, no mention of past mental health issues, but the brothers been in trouble for some time. These poor parents will question their decision to bring him back into the home forever. They seemed to be a normal, well respected family.

In 2004, the district attorney said, there had been another "domestic issue," an assault complaint involving Kerby Revelus.

"It involved punching," Keating said.

More recently, Keating said, Revelus was charged with a firearms violation that resulted in his incarceration. Keating said he was released several months ago.

This is a local story for me, the area is not known for trouble or violent crime.

This is just so horrific. I'm speechless

Prayers going out to the victims and their parents.

He was in the act of decapitating his little sister when the police broke down the door. I wonder if he was on drugs and perhaps also had some sort of mental illness. It's like that man who decapitated the young man sitting next to him on the bus.
