MILTON, Mass. (AP) — 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 their chief described as "a killing field."
There was no clear motive for the events that unfolded Saturday in a tony Boston suburb that also is home to Gov. 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.
Bianca was killed as a cake for her fifth birthday sat on the kitchen table. It was not immediately clear when she turned 5. Sarafina dialed 911 and watched police shoot her brother as her elder sister, Samantha, lay dead on the floor.
Sarafina was hospitalized Sunday with defensive wounds to her hands and stab wounds in her abdomen and one of her legs.
"In policing, we see the raw human emotion every day, but to think that a human being could afflict such an atrocious, violent act on his own family is unbelievable," Milton police Chief Richard G. Wells Jr. said. "When I walked up to the first officer (on the scene), I could see the whole story right in his face. This just told me that this was something very bad."

Damn Amish.
Why was the officer not able to shoot this guy before he murdered the 5 year old?
Beheaded an innocent five year old, his own flesh and blood, on her special day. Vile beyond words. Is there a whiff of Islam here?
Hmmm...no idea what caused it. No idea at all. I could give an idea (ISLAM????)
We really need to get these sharp knives off of our streets.
Methinks the family name may have been changed at one point.
Nah, had to be a YEC or a Birther. /sarc
Kerby Revulus???? What kind of name is that? Doesn’t sounk Muslim, but BEHEADING is a HUGE CLUE!! ANIMAL.....nothing but an animal.
It looks like he may have been busting down the door at the same time the poor little child was being killed.
Prayers.
I fear he was a second or two too late to do so.
So tragic..and I can’t help but think that his parents harbored his evil doings over the years and choose him over the health and well being of themselves and their other children. Signs were all over the place regarding this cretins past history. Clearly deeply mentally ill and evil.
We always here about parents doing so but oh so tragic when we do hear something like this. Arghh, I need to rest.
Appears the family fled Haiti in the 80’s.
Voodoo? Drugs?
Obama voter.
There are a lot of families out there scared to death of sick family members but the crazy person has rights to be free. I guess this guy family proved that he was a harm to himself or others.
You are probably correct about the officer. I pray for the officer who witnessed the horrific attack. He or she will never be the same.
I don’t know. It makes me sick, all of it. I see “beheading” and automatically suspect the prime beheaders in the world today. Targeted girls too, always. Back to Islam again. Was it the way they were dressed?
It appears he was holding a knife to the childs neck when the officer broke in. When the cretin saw the officer he sliced the childs neck. I dont think it was a planned out beheading but rather the reaction of an evil mind.
It’s no easy thing, to hack someone’s head off with a knife, even a large, sharp one. Unless, that is, we’re talking machete. Not an “oops” sort of deal.
God, bless and receive them. They didn’t deserve this.
Nope, doesn't sound Moslem.
Beheading seems to be a trend outside Islam. I guess nutcases think it’s cool, after seeing so many examples.
"As the officer entered the door, (Revelus) decapitated (Bianca) in front of him," Wells said. "He actually walked into a killing field. He walked into such carnage, as far as the atrocity of it, I've never seen it."Looks like the officer never had a chance to save her. Glad to hear the officers sent him directly to hell, though.Within moments, four officers were inside and two of them shot Revelus as he tried to get to Sarafina, Wells said. Revelus fell, still clutching the knife.
Details about the number of shots and who killed Revelus were pending the outcome of an autopsy Sunday.
I'm wondering when they're going to hold vigils for Kerby and blame the cops for killing him.
I can say why this happened. There is a real movement of evil coming this way & things will only get worse, till we reclaim our country back, and remove the items that remove us from GOD’s eye.
Maybe this will help.
Prayers up for the officer.
While the Dominican Republic side is nothing to write home about, it at least produces somethings... peppers, pumpkins, cigars, short stops.
Yet the other half of the island, Haiti, produces only zombies and AIDS.
The only major difference I can think of between the two sides is religion. The D.R. is majoritively Roman Catholic and Haiti is mainly Voodoo. Voodoo seems to have about the same impact on folks as another hideous death cult, islam.
RIP Bianca, 5 and Samantha, 17.
Prayers going up for the slain children and the family.
“Appears the family fled Haiti in the 80’s.”
Who are we to be judgmental of the Haitian culture? All cultures are equal, don’cha know. /s
10-4 to that. He had to break the door down even though the 9-1-1 operator was pleading to have it opened. Then he instantly saw that horror. I know I'd see that nightmare for the rest of my days.
More Rap Crap!
and they didn't shoot him while he was cutting her head off BECAUSE???
We talked about lawlessness in Sunday School today. This is a horrific example of what’s going on in ou country today. They try to remove God from society and satan steps in with his brand of horror.
Probably a combination of both.
Due to reports so far a slice through the neck as if someone is being held hostage is a far cry from a beheading.
I just dont see this as a beheading but a crazy evil man who already had enacted carnage did some more...
Not that this makes it any better but an actual beheading by a Muslim hell bent on destroying western civilization is a far cry from what happened here. Only thing in common was an evil heart.
The officer was a second or two late..there was no beheading, he sliced the little girl through the neck as he was on his evil rampage.
Misuse MUSLIM BEHEADING and then it will have no meaning.
Beheading is certainly a Muslim habit, especially beheading women.
But Haitians have a history of machete use, too. Do a little googling and you’ll see some examples. This goes all the way back to the Haitian revolt against the French.
“I pray for the officer who witnessed the horrific attack. He or she will never be the same.”
But he’ll know that a little girl lives because of his swift and decisive action. Hopefully that will provide some comfort.
I wonder if the son had schizophrenia.
One of the reasons the mentally ill end up homeless is because they have been violent with family members until they are thrown out or leave during a lucid period and realize that they are dangerous to those they love.
Prayers for this family and the people who had to witness this. And for the perpetrator.
Too bad we don’t have stricter gun control laws to stop this kind of thing, eh?
thx...
Parts of Milton I guess you could call “tony”, but this neighborhood borders Mattapan, the most violent area of Boston.
Geraldo is on this right now, of course.
