Damas, 32, faces murder charges in the deaths of his wife and five children

Mesac Damas, 32, said he wanted to take his own life, but did not have the courage to go through with it, "because if you kill yourself, you're not going to heaven."

Asked by the reporter in Haiti why he killed his family, Damas responded, "Only God knows." Questioned further, he blamed the crime on his mother-in-law. "Her mom pretty much made me do it -- the devil, her spirit, whatever she worships," he said.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I figured it was a new one, "Mother in Law's spirits made me do it."
