Benoit strangled his wife and smothered son

The latest from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is a report that WWE wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room.

The couple and their 7-year-old son were found dead Monday in their home on Green Meadow Lane just east of Peachtree City. Nancy Benoit and her son, Daniel, were killed during the weekend and Benoit died Sunday, police said.
The son was found dead in bed. Nancy Benoit was found in the home office. The cause of death for both was ruled asphyxiation.
Benoit is believed to have hanged himself on late Saturday or early Sunday.

The paper also reports that Benoit and his wife had previous marriage problems including some abuse and a separation in 2003.
To me this is such a sad state of affairs. It’s true evidence of a confused and lost world.
Only the king of deception, Satan himself, could lead someone to do something so horrific to their own family members.
