Man beheads sister

A man on a rampage fatally stabbed his 17-year-old sister, decapitated his 5-year-old sister in front of a police officer and then headed toward his 9-year-old sister with a knife in his hand before officers shot him amid what the police chief described as 'a killing field'. There was no clear motive for the events that unfolded on Saturday in a tiny Boston suburb that also is home to Governor Deval Patrick. But there was 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. It is said that the murders came 24 hours after Revelus had gotten into a fistfight with a neighbor.  It seems that Revelus's target was the older sister, aged 17. However the second youngest sister, aged 9 called police dispatcher and within minutes an officer had arrived. Enraged, Revelus beheads the youngest sister, aged 5 in front of the officer and goes for his sister who had called the police. The police officer however shoots him and kills him. He died clutching the knife to his heart. This means that even to the end, he was a bad person and his intentions were to kill all his family members. Revelus has gone to jail before a year ago, but no details were released by the news papers. He also had gotten trouble before for punching one of the women in his house.
