Brother decapitates sister, fatally stabs second and attacks third

MILTON, Mass. - A police officer responding to a 911 call to a suburban home in Boston saw a 23-year-old man decapitate his 5-year-old sister.

Kerby Revelus, 23, was shot dead by police after beheading his sister Bianca on her fifth birthday, fatally stabbing his 17-year-old sister Samantha and wounding his 9-year-old sister Sarafina.

There was a birthday cake with five candles on it on the kitchen table. Sarafina, managed to call 911 amid the carnage and was fighting her brother when police arrived.

Kerby Revelus had recently been released from jail after serving time on a gun charge.

Police were called Friday night to the 7 Belvior Road address because of a report of a fight.

According to Norfolk County District Attorney William Keating, Saturday's horror sprang from a sibling squabble over Kerby's fistfight with a next-door neighbor Friday night. Keating declined to go into detail about the altercation or why Kerby was not arrested.

Their grandmother, who lives on the first floor, was doing laundry in the basement at the time of the attacks. VIDEO
