Last Updated: 3:49AM BST 30 Mar 2009 Kerby Revelus, 23, also fatally stabbed his 17-year-old sister and then turned toward his 9-year-old sister with a knife in his hand before officers shot him dead. Policemen at the scene described it as a "killing field". There was no clear motive for the crimes, which took place the day after 5-year-old Bianca's birthday at the Boston home the siblings shared with their parents and grandmother. Bianca was killed as a cake for her birthday, which investigators believe was on Friday, sat on the kitchen table. Nine-year-old Sarafina dialed 911 and watched police shoot her brother as her elder sister, 17-year-old Samantha, lay dead on the floor. Sarafina was hospitalised with defensive wounds to her hands and stab wounds in her abdomen and one of her legs, police said. "In policing, we see the raw human emotion every day, but to think that a human being could afflict such an atrocious, violent act on his own family is unbelievable," Milton police chief Richard G. Wells Jr. said. "When I walked up to the first officer (on the scene), I could see the whole story right in his face. This just told me that this was something very bad." Saturday's attack came about 24 hours after Revelus got into a fistfight with a man living next door, Mr Wells said. "Blows were exchanged," he said. "I don't know the cause of it, but we're confident that did happen. He had been agitated in the hours that followed that, going into the day and last night." Investigators believe Revelus targeted Samantha, a senior at Milton High School, and fatally stabbed her with a household knife while their grandmother, who neighbors say lives on the first floor, was doing laundry in the basement. The children's parents were away. <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Custom Faith-based U.S. Postage <*}}}>< + <*}}}>< <http://astore.amazon.com/halthekin-20>Catholic on Amazon <*}}}>< <*}}}>< <http://www.halfthekingdom.org/on+allposters+today.html>on AllPosters today <*}}}>< + <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Holy Postage <*}}}>< <*}}}><<http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Half the <http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Kingdom!<*}}}>< + "A person is a person, no matter how small."
