‘I wanted my mum, brother and dad to die’


A WOMAN who killed six members of her own family including two small children has been convicted of their murders. Michele Anderson and her partner Joseph McEnroe killed her parents, Wayne and Judy Anderson on Christmas Eve 2007 at the couple’s home in Carnation, Washington state. The couple, who had been living on a mobile home on her family property, then killed her brother Scott, his wife Erica, and their children Olivia, five, and Nathan, three, who arrived to celebrate Christmas lunch. On Friday a Seattle jury convicted Anderson on six counts of first-degree aggravated murder for the shooting deaths. The 37-year-old admitted to the killing and now faces life in jail without parole. McEnroe is currently serving six life sentences at Washington State Penitentiary after he was convicted of the same killings last year. Anderson admitted to the killings, telling police her brother and parents drove her to do it.
“I wanted my mum, brother and dad to die because they abused me over the years,” she reportedly told police. “I wasted my life because of these ****holes. It’s not fair.” According to Seattle PI, she also believed her brother’s wife drove a wedge between the siblings. Erica tried desperately to call 911 before she died and was alive when McEnroe shot her children, with Nathan killed as he sheltered in his mother’s arms.

Scientists discover three new planets similar to Earth

SCIENTISTS have discovered a trio of Earth-like planets that are the best bet so far for finding life outside our solar system. The three orbit an ultracool dwarf star a mere 39 light years away, and are likely comparable in size and temperature to Earth and Venus, they reported in a study, published in  Nature . “This is the first opportunity to find chemical traces of life outside our solar system,” said lead author Michael Gillon, an astrophysicist at the University of Liege in Belgium. All three planets had the “winning combination” of being similar in size to Earth, “potentially habitable” and close enough so their atmospheres can be analysed with current technology, he told  AFP . Star gazers will need to use the Hubble telescope to gather more information on the new planets. Picture: Supplied.
