23 year-old Kirby Revelus killed two of his sisters and badly injured another after stabbing and beheading the youngest one with a kitchen knife. The killings took place in an upper class suburb of Boston, where the family was celebrating the 5 year-old’s birthday.
The motive is still unknown, however investigators reported an altercation between Kirby Revelus and his next-door neighbor the day before. Apparently, the physical altercation between the two had Kirby Revelus visibly upset and irritable. At the time of the stabbings, one of the sisters ran around to the back of the house to call 911. As police arrived, Kirby was in the middle of decapitating his 5 year-old sister. Police immediately shot and killed Kirby, as he lay clutching his knife.
Neighbors were more than surprised about these horrific events and didn’t understand how Kirby could have committed these brutal crimes. The family had reportedly been living in this affluent Boston suburb for the past 20 years and hadn’t had any major issues. Both parents were away from the house at the time, while the grandmother was downstairs, in the basement, doing laundry.

These three sisters are adorable. It's the saddest thing, I've heard in a long time. I hope the sister that's alive can miraculously pull out of this one. RIP to the two that passed. You're in a better place now.
