A familicide is a technical term for “family annihilation” which basically refers to the killing of one’s entire f*cking family. Today, we're each sharing a horrifically disturbing story of a familicide. Happy Friday!
First, we're talking about the super recent familicide of the Watt's family. Last year, a**hole Chris Watt's, murdered his pregnant wife Shanann and two daughters, (4-year-old Bella and 3-year-old Celeste), and then stuffed their bodies in oil tanks. Although Watts initially denied having any involvement with his wife’s and daughters’ deaths, he later confessed.
Then, we're talking about the New Zealand Bain family murders. After nearly a quarter-century, this whole case still confuses TF out of us. Either Robin Bain killed all but one of his family and then himself, or his son David murdered his parents and three siblings, in June of 1994. Initially convicted of the murders, David was found not guilty in 2009 at a second trial after spending 13 years in prison.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
