Mom & daughter kill five family members including 9-year-old twins after ‘demons told them the victims wanted to die’
A MOTHER and daughter have pleaded guilty to murdering five of their close relatives, including three children, because "demons told them" the victims "wanted to die."
Shana Decree, 47, and Dominique Decree, 21, entered guilty but mentally ill pleas to five counts of first-degree murder in connection with the killings in Pennsylvania.
The worker also found the body of Shana's sister from , Jamilla Campbell, 42, and Campbell's nine-year-old twin daughters Erika and Imani Allen.
"This is horrible and tragic, because I do believe the two of you have expressed remorse," Bateman said Monday. "Unfortunately, that doesn't bring them back. You can't say, 'Sorry' and expect people to move on with their lives."
Both women tearfully apologized to the court and other relatives in the courtroom.
"The hardest thing for me to do is decide who to say I'm sorry to first," Shana Decree said. "To my family, I am sorry for taking away these beautiful souls in such a horrible manner."
