Michael Miller, Arizona Man, Sang Eminem While Stabbing Family: Police

A disturbing story out of Arizona: a 29-year-old man has told police that he sang Eminem songs while fatally stabbing his wife and daughter, KSAZ-TV reports. His 4-year-old son survived the attack, despite being stabbed 11 times. According to police, the man, Michael Miller, said he was possessed and believed that his wife was a demon.

More chilling details:

Just before stabbing her at 4 a.m., he told police he started screaming lyrics from an Eminem song, saying, "Here comes Satan, I'm the anti-Christ, I'm going to kill you."

Miller admitted to police that when the kids awoke to their mother's screams, he stabbed them too. He said he stabbed his son Brian the most because he loved him the most.

Then he rolled a cigarette, said another prayer, and called 911, police say.

Hear part of the 911 call:

mr miller meet mr electric chair........sorry its time to get rid of these zealots who hide behind religion.

[BobSacomano]

...and again..............and again...

[BobSacomano]

ahhhhhh.....................religion....again.

[shockmagog]

Most sociopaths seem to cut to the chase and quote directly from the Bible.

[snork]

Don't think he sounds like a sociopath, more like severely OCD. A sociopath wouldn't have the remorse and confusion which is clearly present in his voice.

[KennethBowen]

No child deserves this horror. What a shame.

[duchessofbs]

If he chased his family yelling "Here"s Johnny" would you blame Stephen King ?

[d00derman]

No, I'd blame Johnny Carson.

[publanski]

I'd say Jack Nicholson is more to blame.

[skatscan]

Actually blame the recently late Ed Mcmahon.

[Tsar Bomba]

No, I'd still blame religion

[MajorKong]

That's wrong on so many levels.

[special muppet]

How many religious loons does it take to change a lightbulb?

4.

One to slaughter his family while gibbering about God and the Devil.

One to buy some more guns.

One to be absolutely clueless about everything decent and right.

One to get someone to change the lightbulb for him.

And Charles Manson wrote lyrics to Beatle songs on the walls in houses where he and his minions murdered people. By the logic of many here, the Beatles must have caused him to kill all those people.

[Indy 44]

Not sure there's anything in the Beatles canon (even the eclectic White Album) that encourages, condones, or celebrates brutal violence, rape, murder or homophobia.

Eminem on the other hand...

[publanski]

Apparently you missed "Happiness is a Warm Gun" when listening to the White Album.

[LDS50]

Charlie Manson had a plan: kill the white people, blame the black people, have a race war, be king of the world. Beatles were a diversion. Probably like the guy in the story- looking for an "insanity" plea.

[ahoyhoy]

I appreciate your point, but Manson was nowhere near the scenes of the famous murders for which he was convicted. The kids that actually committed the murders wrote on the walls.
He brainwashed a bunch of lost kids to believe his brand of insanity, and to kill for him.
Yes, he thought The Beatles were communicating to him with their lyrics.

[Smurfaveli]

I really hate Eminem and his music. I'm a hip-hop head but I believe Eminem is just simply wack. With that being said, to blame this on Eminem is stupid. Dude killed his family regardless of what lyrics he was singing. He could have been singing Amazing Grace.

I will say this though....Eminem's lyrics are stupid...raping, killing your mother..all that mess. Garbage rap. He has talent but it's pointless.

[deebles]

Be happy that you hate Eminem. He's a poet and gifted beyond belief. I'm old and have all his CD's. If he had nicer words probably more people would appreciate his abilities which I rank with Homer. Not Simpsons--the Illiad. But, I've always had a feeling that to truly appreciate him, you have to have an abusive and neglectful past. He appeals to the wounded. There is a marvelous French movie, Cache. Great mystery, but in the first five minutes you see that the son has a poster of Eminem on his wall. Sorta kills the mystery.

[fasty]

Yup. The headline should NOT be "sang Eminem". It should be "prayed before/during/after murdering his children and wife."

[loudspeaker]

That's what happens when you listen to music like that. I'm curious to know if he was a violent computer game player as well.

[fasty]

Are you serious?

[kobio]

Well, he wasn't singing Celine Dion;) He was however singing the song of a guy who promotes violence on women. To be exact, raping and killing them. So, yes I believe he was serious.

[DemMD]

No, he's not

[DDBabyDiva]

Yea.. I've been listening to 3am on and off for a couple of weeks. I'm a chica on the edge!!!

No, seriously. People were slaying people long before the invention of television and rap. It was considered a sport to fight to the death... So.... You're point is lost on me.

[jefered]

He also said a prayer. Clearly, Jesus made him do it.

[Lhommecouture]

You cannot possibly blame Eminem for this. A disturbed person is one prior to being influened in any way by entertainers.

[SkuddGobang]

how does one "sing" that ... um... "music?"

And what's shocking?

[Donnat]

This what too much religion does to you.

[2Dark2Matter]

Exactly.

[WilliamRC]

Tragic, what a beautiful family. May they find peace.

[napasonoma]

What does that mean Find peace They were slaughtered Do you think that's a peaceful way to end a life that hasnt even begun Is this a church thing

[garcia83]

omg what do you mean a life that hasnt even begun they were all out of their mothers womb which is universally agreed to be a part of life no matter your stance is this a church thing
