DAD SANG EMINEM AS HE MURDERED FAMILY
A deranged dad has told detectives how he sang an Eminem rap song as he murdered members of his family.
Police say 29-year-old Michael Miller stabbed his wife and 10-year-old daughter to death and severely injured his four-year-old son, who survived being stabbed 11 times.
Miller told police in Glendale, Arizona, that he tucked his son into bed the night before, and said a prayer together asking God to keep them safe.
Then, the next morning, he told a 911 emergency call dispatcher: "I just killed my family with a knife. All of them. All three of them."
Miller told detectives he was possessed and he visualised his wife, Adreana, as a demon.
Just before stabbing her at 4 a.m., he told police he started screaming lyrics from an Eminem song, saying, "Here comes Satan, I'm the anti-Christ, I'm going to kill you."
Miller admitted to police that when the children woke to their mother's screams, he stabbed them too. He said he stabbed his son Brian the most because he loved him the most.
Then he rolled a cigarette, said another prayer, and made the 911 call, police say.
He told the dispatcher calmly: "They woke up, I was threatening my wife with a knife and my kids came out, and I killed my wife and actually both my kids."
Then the dispatcher asked him: "Are you sure you're not dreaming Michael?"
He said: "I'm positive."
The dispatcher asked if he had ever had these types of thoughts before.
He said: "Never. It just hit me like a brick in the face. I don't even know why I did it."
Young Brian is being looked after by family members and is recovering in the hospital.
Miller is expected to be charged with two counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted murder.
