Chances they're some flavor of Christian? Pretty fucking high.

The other times I've heard about honor killings like these, it's been Islamic. But it sounds like this guy was just nuts.

Each is bad on it's own, but religion plus mental illness is a dangerous combo.

No clear religious motive as she was already married.

Of course the law enforcement folks had encountered him before - it's because he's fucking batshit.

“The allegations in this case are deeply disturbing and horrific — words can’t describe what our law enforcement partners encountered during the investigation,” said Dakota County Attorney Kathy Keena. “My office will work hard to ensure the victims receive justice and will provide the necessary support for the victims’ family.”

It's been a long day, but this is definitely enough internet for me today.
