Raymond Armanasco

VICTIMS: 6

Ray was a milkman in Perth, Australia. He was a pretty average sounding guy from all accounts. His life was very ordinary actually. The only thing that was remotely out of place was that he was having a little trouble with the wife. But he still had his favourite daughters love, which is all he really cared about.

But then things started going wrong for poor old Ray. And to make matters worse his wife had turned all his kids excluding his favourite, Elise Rose, against him. This seemed to really piss him off - really really piss him off. So much so that in early October, 1950, he took his little baby - 9 year old Elise Rose - to stay with friends while he fixed his problems.

The next morning a visitor discovered his family - his wife and five other children - slaughtered throughout the house. Each had their skull smashed in and their throats slashed. Police later found a bloody hammer and a pile of bloody razor blades laying next too each other in a room in the house. They also found that there were no signs of forced entry at the house, but had no idea were the main suspect, Raymond, was. They searched everywhere for the guy, but he was no where to be found.

And this is the funny part -
Police were taking one last look at the murder scene when one notice that some plaster was drifting down from the ceiling. They spent some time looking up there when they heard a sound from above. Well I guess it doesn't take a genius to figure out what was up there. well I tell you anyway - Our boy Ray had stored a heap of canned food and blankets and stuff up in the ceiling. He planned to stay up there until the investigation died down. When it had he was going to get Elise Rose and get out of town. Unfortunately for Ray he was too stupid to stay still when people were in the house. Bad luck.

 

MY OPINION

A very stupid man. But I must give him some credit for ingenuity, even if it is one of the dumbest plans I've even heard of. The guy is almost unheard of even here in Australia so I decided that I should brighten others lives with his story. Not a memorable crime, but one that we can all have a little chuckle about.
