Authorities recently arrested Michael Bever, then 16, and his brother Robert Bever for the murder of five people.
According to testimony at the hearing, detectives say that Robert Bever wanted “to have some sort of fame or notoriety for being a serial killer.”
In fact, authorities discovered
the bodies of 52-year-old David Bever, 44-year-old April Bever, a 5-year-old
girl, a 7-year-old boy and a 12-year-old boy inside the family’s home.

| Victims: Parents David and April were also killed. |
A 13-year-old girl, who
was stabbed but survived, told police that her eldest brothers had attacked her
family.
Moreover, the boys’
2-year-old sister was found unharmed in the home, but investigators say their
plan to kill her was interrupted. Although it is claimed that Robert Bever said
he was planning on cutting off his 2-year-old sister’s head with an axe.
In addition, Robert
also told detectives that Michael coerced their siblings out of locked rooms
during the attack by pretending he was in danger.
He said he got a job
and saved money to purchase weapons online, so checks to confirm he was an
adult wouldn’t be performed.
After killing everyone
in the home, they planned to purchase bins and store their dead family members
in the attic.
