Sarafina Revelus age 9

Kerby Revelus, 23, of Milton, MA, beheaded his 5-year-old sister after stabbing his 17-year-old sister, Samantha, to death.  Another sister, 9-year-old Sarafina, suffered stab wounds.

Police arrived at the Revelus home less than one minute after receiving a 911 call from Sarafina.  They kicked in an upstairs door where Kerby Revelus, armed with a kitchen knife, grabbed his 5-year-old sister, Bianca, and decapitated her.  He then turned the knife on 9-year-old Sarafina and began stabbing her.  17-year-old Samantha had already been stabbed to death in the same room.

Police are heard on phone tapes of their arrival ordering Kerby Revelus to “Stop!” and “Get down!”

Revelus didn’t listen.

Police shot and killed Revelus, and one of the officers rushed Saraphina out of the house, bloody and crying for her mother, but alive.

Police attempts to resuscitate Samantha were unsuccessful.

The killings took place the day after Bianca’s 5th birthday.  Neighbors report that Revelus had been depressed in recent weeks after getting out of jail for the second time on a weapons charge and having trouble finding a job.  He got into a fist fight with a neighbor the night of Bianca’s birthday party, and investigators are trying to determine if the dispute somehow triggered the violent attack on his sisters.
