Eight siblings have been found stabbed to death in a house in Australia. The children, aged from 18 months to 15 years, were discovered by an older brother, aged 20, who arrived home to find them dead.

The mass killing is not believed to be terror-related, but Prime Minister Tony Abbott said that “these are trying days for our country.” The tragedy comes just days after an armed siege in Sydney claimed the lives of two hostages and the Islamist hostage taker.

Prayers up for the family/s of the deceased. When will Australia come to it's senses and demand all knives be turned in as they did with the majority of firearms? Or is this a case where, since a firearm wasn't involved, the level of violence is not as serious as if there had been one involved?

At least she didn’t use a gun. That would have been bad.

Betting Mommy Dearest did this. So sad it's the children who have to suffer for their parents’ derangements.

It really cranks me up when I read about somebody killing the kids and then themselves in some domestic BS. Leave the kids out of it. If you want to do yourself in, go ahead but why take the kids? To punish the parent you leave behind to suffer in some BS guilt trip? God is great, beer is good and people are cray cray...........

I’m currently in a Bible Study group (Matthew.) There are multiple references in this text to Jesus casting out demons. This led me to ask, where are the demons now? I think we just found one.

They must have found the perpetrator to come to such an early conclusion.
