Texas: Man beheads his 2-year-old niece, kills four other family members — his sister blames his conversion to Islam

BELLVILLE

— A family dispute pushed Maron Thomas to go on a rampage marked by a fury so intense that he decapitated his 2-year-old niece with a machete after killing her and four other family members,

Austin County investigators said Wednesday.Thomas, 20, was charged Wednesday with capital murder in the shooting deaths of his mother, stepfather, sister, brother and his niece.

He remains in the Austin County Jail with bail set at $1 million.

“This is one of the most horrific crimes we’ve had in Austin County,” District Attorney Travis Koehn said. “Austin County is a safe place to live, but unfortunately, we are not immune to the same kinds of crimes that occur in other locations.” [...]

Thomas’ sister, Ka’Tara Price, 24, of Houston, said she believes anger and Thomas’ conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions.

She said she is not aware of him suffering from any mental illness.

“It’s anger and pure evilness,” (ndlr: Une bonne définition de l'Islam ! JPPS) Price said Wednesday night.

“He’s always been a very angry person. If he thinks he’s right, he’s right.”…

No closure in Bellville family massacre

…Price, 24, of Houston, said she believes religion played a role.

Maron Thomas became a Muslim in the last 18 months while the rest of the family has always been Christian, Price said.

Phearse said she wants to visit her brother.

“I would want to see him,” she said, “not just for the words — I would want to see the look in his face. I want to know exactly what took place.”

Siblings speak out

The siblings of a man accused of killing his five family members are talking to 39 news. They said the man charged with capital murder is not the person they know.

“We use to have a station wagon and I remember everybody singing songs from church and school, that’s what I remember,” said Khalilah Phearse.
