Besides that, his father and his grandparents at an unnumbered house in the same village at the same date and time. He had pleaded guilty when charged with the offence for the first time on March 9, but the court refused to accept the guilty plea and, instead, ordered that a psychological evaluation be conducted on him. On March 22, one of his sister said he received an order from the heavens, and this led the judge to order him placed in a mental hospital for a month-long observation, so that he had admitted to killing the four family members.
