THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS HIS WONDERS TO PERFORM

Matthew Richards sentencing

 

A Christian School teacher and youth pastor has just been sentenced to 29 years as a guest of the people of Kansas for stabbing his wife and his four kids and then setting the house on fire.

Matthew Lee Richards, 42, of Shawneee, Kansas had been feeling stress over financial issues back in September of 2023 when he decide the appropriate response to the situation was to murder his family and burn his house down.  He didn't do that good a job of it.  None of them died.

He copped to two counts of attempted murder.  He offered his apologies to all concerned and asserted that he was a monster.  Apparently they were about to be evicted and he never got around to telling his wife and family about it and figured that killing them and burning the house down would be a way around telling them of his financial incompetence.  He was right of course, but it was probably not the best way of dealing with the issue, and they found out anyway so.........
