Eric Sweeney — the teen accused of killing his brother’s wife and her two young children in August— blamed the murders on an intruder claiming he heard random “pops” before the crime. Court filings show Sweeney was charged with three counts of first-degree murder for the New Hampshire homicides. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie uncovers the newly released documents and the heartbreaking final texts between Sweeney’s brother and one of his alleged victims.

It’s so sad! I’m trying to understand why the husband didn’t lock up guns and why would he leave his family with his brother! It almost makes me wonder if the husband wanted his brother to harm his family 😳😳 I don’t know but nobody knows what goes on behind close doors but seriously, this is so harendous
I went to juvenile detention at the Sununu Youth Services on May 19th 2023 and stayed for 4 months I met Eric and spoke to him multiple times. As well as living on the same unit as him (different floors as im a female) He seemed like a normal kid besides the fact that he was in jail… so so strange.
THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT, EVENTUALLY !
What angers me the most is the fact that he knew his brother was mentally ill & he still kept him around his small children while also keeping firearms in the home! Anybody could've seen this tragedy coming from a mile away! Heartbreaking!
If the husband is reading these comments, ITS NOT YOUR FAULT
I agree with everything besides this man victim blaming . The husband did try to help , who would think there own brother would kill the whole family
💔
AND GUN LAWS WON'T TAME HUMAN NATURE
KARMA IS A RELENTLESS MONSTER…🤔
Americans trialing kids as adults is absurd and evil. But at the same time a 17year old cant consent to a physical relationship over there because that's "a kid that doesnt know what it is doing"…. What…?
Of course the GOP shoots down red flag laws….they also scream it is not a gun problem but a mental illness problem, yet do not do anything about mental health issues either. They simply do NOT care about anyone and it is a dog whistle to their base which seems be be simplistic in their thoughts.
How sick is this cop comforting his "poor brothers in law enforcement" over all the guilt they must feel…so he blames the guy who is the VICTIM. Wtf, get this guy out of law enforcement. His priorities are all out of whack.
The VICTIM went to paw enforcement to help him and those law enforcement let him kill that family.
I been on a 72 hour hold it wasn’t fun
He absolutely should not have had access to a gun…period.
you put a lock on your door but still leave your wife and kids home by themselves with him? hmm
absolutely heartbreaking 💔
This guy completely ignorant in mental health issues the realities of these type issues… people hearing voices are sick and need intervention immediately… and the problem is… you have a loved one suffereing from voices and you try to get assistance its near impossible! In this case he was a minor so they should have been able to get him help sooner… if im locking my door from my kid… its time to get the child admitted. Also… People with mental health issues like this have been targeted and used by nefarious programs ….
There really should be a way for family members to get assistance for loved ones that are adults but having these type symptoms.. maybe if 2 family members agree then its a go… but has to be more than one person concerned.. idk
This is spiritual. This boy was overtook by something. Hope they look into it.
These are demons brought on by bad parenting.
So incredibly sad 💔🙏
"A lock on the door isn't what you need to do- you need to kick this kid out"
-Except you can't legally put a minor out on the streets. Disgusting victim blaming when it's the authorities who failed to act who are ACTUALLY responsible.
lock him up for life!!!!!!!
Imagine yourself doing this to your own family and little ones? Crazyville.
My thoughts and prayers are with Sean. I cannot imagine the regret and guilt he must be feeling. Even if he had kicked Eric out, he still might have done this. Rest in peace Kassandra, Benjamin, and Mason.
Why why why would you do that you monster
Wow
How many times do we have to learn this lesson?
0:15 – I think the term you're searching for is Capitalism. Over 60 million guns than people, over 6,000 mental health shortage areas, disappearing middle class causing more family stress than since the great depression – and a complete absence of any genuine or accessible or affordable child care – even Evictions on this rise – it all coalesces into circumstances where humans make far poorer decisions more routinely. The less hope there is – the more tragedy like this.
This is Late Stage Capitalism
So sooooooooo sad!!!!!!!
“Crazy” behavior? Come on. If you’re going to talk about mental health, come out of the dark ages and talk about it with some educated terminology. Irresponsible.
That guest was useless! He didn’t know any of the laws that would apply in this case and really doesn’t seem to know anything mor than what’s already been reported and couldn’t even give any really good insight into that! A whole lot of guessing and supposition instead of actual facts and solid theories based on said facts. It reads like a tabloid piece! I expect better from Law & Crime. Very disappointing.
Law & Crime, please don't bring back this guest.
You can’t just kick out a 15yr old you have custody of and tell him to go sleep under a bridge…
