Grieving
relatives say religious beliefs may have compelled a mother and her
teenage daughter to allegedly massacre five of their family members — including three children — inside a suburban Pennsylvania apartment.
Damon
Decree, Sr., the ex-husband of suspect Shana Decree, 45, and the father
of suspect Dominique Decree, 19, told WPVI that both women had been “talking about demons being all around them.”
Decree
said he believes the mother and daughter — charged Monday with
murdering Shana’s two children, Naa’Irah Smith, 25, and Damon Decree
Jr., 13, along with her sister, Jamilla Campbell, 42, and Campbell’s
9-year-old twin daughters, Imani and Erika Allen — may have been
indoctrinated into an unspecified online religious group.
“Apparently,
they had dissected into some type of cult that they materialized
online,” he said. “I don’t know how or what kind of cult.”
Destiny
Harris, the half-sister of the twin victims, also told WPVI the family
had been “going through something religiously and they decided to drag
the kids into it.”
