A father says that God told him to kill his daughter. There was
…a ruling by Supreme Court Judge Harvey Groberman on Wednesday that Blair Donnelly, 48, was in a psychotic state when he stabbed his daughter Stephanie, 16, to death. …According to a statement of facts agreed on by the Crown and the defence, on the morning of Nov. 23, 2006, Donnelly began praying and studying the Bible, acting out of sorts and interpreting events of the morning as a message from God that he needed to kill his wife.
He walked around the home in his wife’s presence with a knife hidden inside his jacket. Owing to his strange behaviour, his wife asked his pastor to come to their home, and they prayed together, asking for guidance. ,,, When he returned home that night, he found his daughter at the computer and took it as a sign that God wanted him to kill her.
Donnelly’s wife, Patricia, returned home to find Stephanie dead in the living room. Donnelly was found a few hours later praying in front of the Mountainview Alliance Church. He had blood on his hands.
