From jsonline: Intent on burning his entire family to death, a southwestern
Wisconsin man tried to shove his 2-year-old daughter back into the
flames after her pregnant mother had carried her to safety, state
prosecutors alleged Tuesday.
The criminal complaint depicts Armin Wand III as a man so desperate
to escape his marital and financial problems that he enlisted his
brother in a plot to murder his wife and four young children in their
sleep by setting fire to their home for the insurance money.
Two of Wand's sons died in a bedroom that had been locked by Wand's
brother, Jeremy, and a third boy died while sleeping on a couch that
Jeremy Wand had set on fire, on Armin Wand's orders, the complaint
charges.
State prosecutors charged Armin Wand, 32, and Jeremy Wand, 18, both
of Argyle, each with three counts of first-degree intentional homicide,
two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and one count
of arson, all as party to a crime. Armin Wand faces a third count of
attempted first-degree intentional homicide as party to a crime for
allegedly trying to kill his daughter twice.
The early-morning fire Friday
claimed the lives of Armin Wand's sons Allen, 7, Jeffrey, 5, and
Joseph, 3. His wife, Sharon, 27, and daughter Jessica, 2, escaped. But
Sharon Wand remains in critical condition at the University of Wisconsin
Hospital in Madison, and family members say she has lost the baby she
carried for 16 weeks.
According to the complaint filed by Assistant Attorneys General
Richard Dufour and Roy Korte, Armin Wand told state Division of Criminal
Investigation agents that he was "tired of his family struggling from
day to day, living from check to check," and of Sharon Wand's complaints
about their lack of money. He also told the agents they were having
marital problems and considering divorce. http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/father-uncle-charged-with-homicide-arson-in-death-of-three-sons-td6r0i7-169375676.html
But when you look at the thug's mug shot, he probably is a relative of the devil himself.
