Murder is a heinous crime. It’s a sad fact that some of the killings that take place in the world take place in the comfort of someone’s own home. It’s no joke; the murderer took the lives of the entire family. Most of these family massacres have never been solved, and no one has ever found out who did it or why they killed the whole family, some of whom were babies or toddlers.

Here are six of the world’s most mysterious and horrifying family murders and massacres.
