Man Confesses to Triple Homicide on Facebook

Police can gather evidence from social media sites

  More and more confessions are made on Facebook

It looks like Facebook has become an important tool for the authorities since more and more criminals seem to perceive the social media platform as a confessional and willingly admit to their unlawful behavior.

This is the case of a Canadian man, Randy Janzen, who is reported to have killed his daughter, his wife and his sister before setting the house on fire, with him inside. The Facebook post that the man left before taking his own life helped the police get a clearer picture of the tragic events that had taken place, The Telegraph reports.

Furthermore, it seems that the lengthy post also contains the motives of the triple homicide, as if the man felt the need to justify his actions to the world before burning everything to ashes.

He confessed to have shot his daughter in order to relieve her of the excruciating pain that she was going though due to severe migraine headaches. And the reasons he invoked for the other two other murders are equally astonishing. His wife had to die because no mother should undergo the suffering of losing a child and his sister because he was unwilling to let her go through the shame that he had been the cause of.

The man even took the time to insert a few emoticons here and there in his Facebook confession to better deliver what he was going through at the time.

Convinced that he had made the best decision by ending their lives, and at the same time regretful of having had to resort to murder, the man expressed his certainty that all the members of his family were in a better place thanks to him as he had managed to free them of all the worldly pain.

It was the post on his Facebook profile that alerted the authorities although it was already too late when they arrived on the premises to find a scorched house and the lifeless victims.
