OK, how about this:
I saw a true story account on TV (maybe 20/20 or Dateline etc.)
of a family of father, mother and 2 boys, the elder of whom
had graduated from college. Thay were celebrating the alleged
college graduation of the younger lad, by a meal at a restaurant,
after which thay returned home, where thay were all shot
by a criminal. Mother and older boy were killed.
The other boy survived, and father accidentally survived.
(Incompetent assassin.)
It turned out that the younger son had secretly dropped out
of college; he continued to accept money from his father,
until his expected graduation.
He had recruited a student to murder all the members
of his family (and to slightly wound him, for appearances sake)
so that he cud inherit their $2,OOO,OOO home
and pay the assassin from the proceeds.
Police caught them; confessed.
Then there was Lyle Menendez & his brother,
who murdered their father n mother in California.
Andrea Yates individually drowned each of her
approximately 5 (un-armed) children in her bathtub
(dragged the last one back after he fled and drowned him;
she thought it was for his own good).
There r many, many more examples.
About maybe 30 years ago, a Sicilian retired plumber
nabor of mine in his 70s murdered his son, in his 40s
because of a quarrel regarding their respective dogs
who had fought, earlier in the day.
A legal secretary of mine and her mother
were convicted of beating her grandparents to death.
U need more, C. I. ?
