This guy is an engineer, living in an upscale neighborhood. What caused him to do something so horrendous as stabbing his wife to death and then setting a fire to kill his own children? What a monster.
CINCINNATI — A man accused of fatally stabbing his wife and killing their four children in a house fire was released from a hospital Wednesday and taken to court to face murder charges. Michel Veillette was treated for stab wounds and other injuries after he was found outside the family's burning two-story home in suburban Mason on Friday night. After his release from a hospital, he was taken to municipal court for a brief appearance at which he told the judge he didn't have an attorney yet. Judge Andrew Batsche set a hearing for Jan. 22 for Veillette, 34, and he was taken to jail. Authorities allege Veillette stabbed his wife, Nadya Ferrari-Veillette, 33, and set the fire that killed the children. Ferrari-Veillette and one child, who authorities said apparently died of smoke inhalation, were dead at the scene. Hamilton County Coroner O'dell Owens said Wednesday the other three children also died from smoke inhalation. He said their bodies had some injuries from the fire's heat, but there were no stab wounds or signs of physical assault.
