Father Arrested in Deaths of Twin Daughters

(Matthews, North Carolina) This story is an example of evil and it's sickening. I can't stop the sadness I feel.

From News14Charlotte.com:

Two twin girls were stabbed to death Friday at their home on Creek Pointe Drive, police said.

The father of the 5-year-olds, David Lauren Crespi, has been charged with murdering them.

Medic reported that Crespi, 45, called 911 at 12:45 p.m., saying he fatally stabbed his daughters. He also threatened to kill himself, Medic said.

When police arrived at the scene, Crespi was waiting for them outside the home. The children were inside, and there was nothing paramedics could do to save them.

So, while many of us were having lunch today, David Crespi apparently stabbed his little girls.

"We're not anywhere where we can talk about a motive in this, or any reasons why someone would take the lives of two little girls," said Keith Bridges, a spokesman for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

"I can't describe to you how horrific this is and how sad," he said. "It has been a toll on the police officers who were the first on the scene and got control of it."

The twins' mother and three older siblings were not at home when the murders occurred. They are currently being counseled by chaplains at police headquarters. Crespi is an executive for Wachovia.
