Marcus Wesson claimed he was Jesus and the only righteous man alive. He believed Jesus was a vampire and wrote his own bible where he claimed that "drinking blood was the key to eternal life."
Marcus had a history of abuse, which started with him marrying his 8-year-old niece, Elizabeth.
She first gave birth at the age of 14, but by the time she was 26 she had given birth to eleven kids.
But that wasn't it. Marcus went ahead to marry two more of his nieces and secretly married two of his daughters, producing several children with his brides.
He convinced them that God’s people are becoming extinct and that he's been given the mandate to preserve God’s children on earth by making more babies.
On March 12, 2004, two of the mothers were distraught after they learned Marcus made plans to relocate the kids. Scared that they may not see them again, the wives demanded custody of the children.
This created a scene in the neighborhood. The police were alerted, but as they came, Marcus promptly went inside and shot nine of the kids dead.
His logic? Instead of him to be separated from his kids on earth, it's better they all go to heaven.
Marcus did not resist arrest. After he had killed the kids, and still covered in blood, he calmly submitted himself to the police. He's still in prison today.
