Gee, I had expected something like he was tired of taking care of a dementia sufferer, but instead this? What a lowlife.

I can only guess his grandmother (RIP) was right about him, I hope he can correct his lifestyle staying in prison until death.

"got into an argument with his grandmother over his lifestyle and lost his temper."
No monetary gain? I think this certainly tops the pookie and ray ray list.

No matter how bonkers, in no time at all, along will come another family member gone off the deep end, Twin Peaks Japan story, even more loony and macabre in its descent into madness gothic horror.
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his mask on...... Grandmother; yes, grandson. I want to kill you.
It makes you wonder what kind of relationship they had prior to this. Did she have any inkling the little droogie was nurturing dreams of ultra madness depravity? Did she perceive the callous and wanton disregard for life and cowardly betrayal that lurked behind the demented smile?
