Modern Romeo and Juliet


A teenage daughter's anger over a forbidden romance may have caused the 16-year-old to kill her mother and two brothers, police said.
The killings occurred in the rural East Texas home of Terry and Penny Caffey on Saturday morning, according to a statement released by Rains County Sheriff David Traylor. The home was burned as well as a medical supplies van outside, Traylor said.
...
Four suspects are in police custody and have each been charged with three counts of murder. Three suspects were identified as Charlie James Wilkinson, 19; Charles Allen Wade, 20; and Bobbi Gale Johnson, 18, who is female.
Police did not release the name or mug shot of the other suspect, the Caffey's daughter, because she is a juvenile.
Police believe the motive may have been that the teenage daughter was forbidden to date one of the suspects.
"Early on in the investigation it was revealed that the juvenile and one of the suspects were dating and made to break up," Traylor wrote in a release.


I guess it goes the other way round these days. This story almost sounds like the daughter of the local preacher was dating the tough guy from the wrong side of the tracks. One thing led to another. Then comes the gunfire.

On a side note, watch the video. That is East Texas. Every one who tries to emulate the accent gets it wrong. This is the real thing.
