Father Accused of Killing Sons, Parents in Mass Murder

http://www.keyt.com/news/santa-barbara-county-sheriffs-department-investigating-homicide/27425420


Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told reporters the man arrested is 45-year-old Nicolas Holzer, who lived with his parents and his two sons at the residence. According to Brown, Holzer calmly called Sheriff's dispatchers on Monday night, claiming he had killed his family.

Detectives say they found Holzer at the door of the home and arrested him. Investigators say he told them it was his "destiny" to commit the killings. Brown said Holzer had no criminal history.

When deputies arrived, they found 10-year-old Vincent Holzer, 13-year-old Sebastian Holzer, 74-year-old Sheila Holzer, and 74-year-old William Holzer dead inside the house. A family pet Australian Shepherd dog was also fatally stabbed.
 
This man was NUTS, obviously. But there didn't seem to be any red flags at all. He stabbed his entire family then calmly waited for LE to arrive. :rose:

Santa Barbara judge finds Nicolas Holzer not insane in murder trial

Now that Holzer has been declared legally sane, it’s all but certain he will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Had he been deemed insane, Holzer would most likely have been sent to a forensic psychiatric hospital run by the State of California.

Holzer Found Guilty By Reason of Sanity

Holzer will likely be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Had he been found insane, he would have served that time at a mental health facility.

Sentencing has been scheduled for August 24th.
