The Florida man that was accused by police of killing his wife and five children admitted to doing the heinous crime. Mesac Damas admitted to reporters that he killed his wife and five “innocent” children and added that he wants to be executed “right away.”
He made the statement to a Naples Daily News reporter in Haiti where he fled from police. When the reporter bluntly asked him why he killed his family he responded, “Only God knows” and went on to blame his mother-in-law saying:
“Her mom pretty much made me do it — the devil, her spirit, whatever she worships.”
He also added:
“When I did it, my eyes were closed but right now my eyes are open. Do you believe in Jesus Christ? The devil exists.”
Damas faces six counts of premeditated first-degree murder in the deaths of his wife, Guerline Damas, 32; and their five children — Michzach, 9; Marven, 6; Maven, 5; Megan, 3; and Morgan, 11 months. The six bodies were found in their home Saturday. Police have not given details on how the family was slain but called the crime scene “horrific.”
