I've heard of murders with a knife, but a suicide with a knife? That would take a lot of mental effort. Pulling a trigger is one thing, doing yourself in with a knife takes extreme mental motivation. Though I suppose if you'd use a knife to kill your wife and kids...you really have something going on inside.

Sometimes you hear of gruesome stories and think the person who did it was evil. In this case, you have to think the guy was really f'd up.

This really makes me wonder. If the toxicology report comes back that he had some kind of hallucinogenic in his system at least there will be something to suggest that a person couldn't really do this.

I can't fathom what it would take to get to that point, and to want to take your loved ones' lives first... just bizarre.
