(Milton, Massachusetts) A 23-year-old man recently released from prison, Kerby Revelus, went on a rampage Saturday, stabbing two of his sisters to death and seriously wounding another.
Five-year-old Bianca Revelus was decapitated, 17-year-old Samantha Revelus died of stab wounds and 9-year-old Saraphina Revelus was rescued and hospitalized.
Described as moody and introverted, Revelus apparently became enraged after an altercation with a neighbor.
"We don't know what the fight was about," Milton Police Chief Richard G. Wells said yesterday. But "this all came as a result of [that] incident."Friends, family and the community are trying to make sense of the shocking episode. It has been mentioned that Kerby Revelus displayed erratic behavior after his release from prison and that he has frequently been seen drinking alcohol. However, nothing seems to explain why he killed his sisters.
Police officers were not called to the scene of the fight, said Wells, who declined to disclose the identity of the neighbor, citing the ongoing investigation.
Police were called to 7 Belvoir St. shortly before 5 p.m. Saturday by 9-year-old Saraphina Revelus. Wells said police arrived at the home and broke down the door to a room on the second floor in time to see Kerby Revelus grab 5-year-old Bianca and slash her neck. Wells said Revelus had already fatally stabbed his 17-year-old sister Samantha "Princesse" Revelus. The officers shot and killed Revelus as he was stabbing Saraphina Revelus and saved her life.
Bianca Revelus, who was supposed to start kindergarten this fall, had turned 5 years old the day before the attack.
