* For a brief time in the fall/winter of '08/09 you couldn't watch TV for half an hour without hearing of some guy who lost everything due to the financial crisis and decided to off his family, random relatives, a few people at work, and finally himself.
* The Korean general Ge Baek did this becaue he was going out into battle and knew he would lose. He killed his whole family before he left to stop the enemy capturing them. In fact in Tae Kwon Do there is a pattern dedicated to him because of this.
* It's suspected that now-deceased James Matory did this to his wife Earlene Williams and their children [https://web.archive.org/web/20130923082036/http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/m/matory_ivy.html Ivy Matory], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130923083754/http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/m/matory_violet.html Violet Matory], and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130511105834/http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/w/williams_yolanda.html Yolanda Marie Williams], along with a small boy staying over at the Matory/Williams household the evening of Earlene's murder, named [https://web.archive.org/web/20130923081734/http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/m/marshall_sir-kristopher.html Sir-Krisopher Clay Marshall] (unrelated to the Matory/Williams family). The last time any of the children were seen was with James at a Denny's in the early morning hours of July 19, 1977. They have never been seen again and James was prosecuted for the four children's murders, but the outcome of that trial is unknown.
* Ronald Gene Simmons killed ''fourteen'' members of his family, eight of them his own children (and one them [[Parental Incest|was also his grandchild]].)
* A rare female example, Magda Goebbels killed her own children with poison while they slept, before she and her husband committed suicide themselves as Berlin fell in 1945.
Line 126:
* Back in the early 20th century, Marty Bergen, a well-regarded catcher in Major League Baseball, murdered his entire family with an ax.
* ''[[Dateline]]'' once had an episode about a family where this happened. The father and most of the children were found dead in the house after a police stand-off. The father of the children ran the family as a small cult and believed he was the Second Coming of Jesus. The survivors were interviewed and said that their father actually told them to kill all small children and then themselves if the police ever found them.
* In early 2007, Thai businessman Boonchai Surawuthipong was in debt, and worried that the mafia would abduct his children. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120507011602/http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2007/02/07/headlines/headlines_30026198.php So he shot his wife, his three children, and himself.]
