When we wrote about the Krugersdorp Killers back in June of last year, there was much shaking of heads.

How does a family become so sick, and so twisted, that they would carry out a series of murders like those that shook the town of Krugersdorp?

That’s just some of the accused you’re looking at above, and it’s safe to say they don’t look like the kind of people you’d trust to babysit.

Carte Blanche dug deep into the how and why of it all on Sunday, and tee up their segment as follows:

They’ve been dubbed the Krugersdorp Killers: the bizarre story of the Steyn family – a mother, her two teenage children and friends who are on trial for the brutal murders of 11 people. The group unleashed a reign of terror that lasted 4 years, allegedly committing additional crimes ranging from robbery, aggravated assault and fraud to identity theft.   But how did their killing spree finally come to an end?

Let’s dive in:

Shivers.

Carte Blanche also has an interactive page with further details of the murders here, in case you want to snoop around further.

There you were thinking your family was odd…
