Description

Family killings seem to dominate this issue of Master Detective. There’s the case of the man who wiped out his girlfriend and her four children. Then there’s European Crime Report, with the desperately sad tale of a “nice couple” forced apart by jealousy, and calamity follows misfortune in the story of “The Family That Never Was.”

Not a family killing but a family tragedy nevertheless is the case in which an FBI agent must turn in his own son, knowing that the death penalty must follow. And were Frederick and Margaret Seddon “the family that poisons together?” The court thought not, but the judge was in tears anyway. Finally, there’s the case of brave Ariel Allison, victim in a family killing gone wrong.

Sad stories all, it’s true – but justice is finally done.
