I'm trying to understand exactly what sort of logic he was following. It wasn't a 'mercy' killing, like the one we had out here a few months ago. In that case the wife begged her husband to kill her, which he did, and I can understand that. I can't see any logic at all here. Perhaps his defense will just be insanity, or guilty of not being able to put together a decent logical argument. At least he didn't buy a gun, so we know he's not a 'violent' person.

GOODYEAR, AZ - A man accused of killing his wife and son in their Goodyear home told investigators he stabbed them because he was afraid he’d given his wife a sexually transmitted disease and that his son must be handicapped.

Eugene Maraventano told police detectives he had been with prostitutes while working in New York and felt that he may have “contracted HIV or other diseases and passed them onto his wife Janet.”

Maraventano, 64, said that about two weeks before he called 911 on April 6, he had decided to kill Janet but changed his mind, according to court documents. Before that, he said he had considered buying a gun but chose a knife saying “I’m not a violent person.”

Janet was ill, Maraventano told detectives, and he was afraid she would test positive for cancer or something he gave her.

He allegedly attacked Janet with a kitchen knife while she was sleeping, according to documents.

Maraventano said he thought about committing suicide but then killed his son, Bryan, because he didn’t know what would happen to the 27-year-old because he plays video games all day and doesn’t have a job or girlfriend. He said he thought his son must be handicapped, according to documents.

Maraventano allegedly knocked on his son’s bedroom door and stabbed him twice when he opened the door.

What a horrific way to die.

The guy had deeper issues than visiting prostitutes.

The guy obviously had issues seriously ones, as does anyone on this forum, who blames this on the opposing party, that is so gosh damn chidlish.

Sickos and whackos, are from both partys, so stop thinking one is more suprior then the other, clearly they are not. They come in both genders, different races, and different religions, age any more seems to not matter.

His thinking is warped, and how terrible for those who had to die at his hands.

I doubt his wife cared that he was either Republician or Democrat, after the fact, does that really matter!

Yeah, but he was probably a Republican.
