Michelle Kehoe her 2 year old sons, and 7 year old sons, throats and covered the 7 year old boys mouth, nose, and eyes with duct tape. The 2 year old boy was found outside of her van dead and the 7 year old was still alive and locked himself inside of the van. Michelle slit her own throat at a near by river and did not die so she walked to a house and tried to tell the people that her and her sons were abducted and tried to kill her and her sons. She had scattered different first aid kit pieces around the scene and wrote a note saying what was happening to her and her sons. The note ended with "'Oh no, here he comes again". She had planned the attack a month earlier when she bought her knife and duct. She scheduled it around her husband's yoga class and had told him that they were going to visit her mother in a nursing home. She pleaded not guilty and her lawyers filed a notice of intent to present an insanity defense. If Michelle is convicted of first-degree murder she would face life in prison without parole.



I think Michelle Kehoe should be convicted of more than just first-degree murder since she tried to kill her other son and she lied to people. You think her husband would have known about her buying a knife and wondered why she bought it. I don't understand why people kill others when they're just going to kill themselves anways. They should just leave the other people alone because it's not going to make a difference to the killer if the others are alive because they are going to be dead anyways. If she was insane she should not have been able to have kids or be alone with them at least because stuff like this happens alot with people that can't control themselves. I hope she goes to jail for life or just dies. People like her do not deserve to be alive.
