Setagaya Family Massacre Forty four year old Mikio Miyazawa was an employee for a London-based advertising agency called Interbrand while his wife, 41-year old Yasuko, was a schoolteacher. Together they had two children, 8-year old Niina and a 6-year-old son named Rei.

The Bennett Home Invasion In Aurora Colorado On January 16, 1984 between the hours of 12 and 6 AM an unknown individual entered the Bennett Home. 27 year old Bruce Bennett was awake and signs of a fierce scuffle were found all over the house. Bruce suffered multiple lacerations that eventually took their toll and allowed the intruder to overpower him at which point he finished him off with several blows to the head with a hammer. The killer then went on to attack the women and girls. Debra who was 26 was raped before being fatally bludgeoned and after that he moved on to attack their daughter, 7-year old Melissa who was also sexually assaulted before being beaten to death. Unsatisfied with his kills, he savagely shattered 3-year old Vanessa’s jaw sending bits and pieces of bone into her windpipe, but luckily she managed to survive.2. The Good Hart Murders The Robinsons just wanted to get away from town and relax at their vacation home on Lake Michigan. A well-off family, they told family and friends they'd be spending some time at their cabin near Good Hart Michigan so when they were gone for nearly a month, no one thought anything was amiss. That is, until their bodies were discovered decomposing in July of 1968. Carpenter Chauncey Bliss approached the small home he had made for the Robinsons expecting to find a dead raccoon inside. A nearby neighbor had called him complaining about a "god awful smell" emanating from the home. There was no answer at the door so he opened it and inside, right by the doorway, is where he found Mrs. Robinson sprawled out with her clothes in disarray. He could see other decomposing bodies behind her, lying in pools of dried blood at which point he ran out and called the police.1. The Cheshire MurdersOn the afternoon of July 22, 2007 in suburban Conneticut, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, together with her daughter, Michaela who was 11, dropped by the grocery store to pick up ingredients for a pre-birthday meal Michaela wanted to give to her 17 year old sister, Hayley. What they didn't know however, was that they were followed home by 2 killers. Stephen Hayes, together with Joshua Komisarjevsky, waited for the cover of darkness before entering the home of the Petits. When they went inside, they found William asleep on the couch and they hit him over the head with a baseball bat, bound him then locked him in the basement. The children, as well as their mother, were also bound and gagged inside their respective bedrooms at which point the two suspects ransacked the house looking for cash but couldn't find much. They changed their plan and in the morning, forced Jennifer to withdraw $15000 from her credit line.TOP 4 MOST TERRIFYING& CREEPY FAMILY MASSACRESCrime and murder are heinous acts but slaughtering an entire household for money, revenge or whatever reason is extremely brutal.
