Traditional African Religions
Countless religious traditions inform the inhabitants of the African continent, each with its own distinct practices and beliefs based on region and ethnicity. Because Africa contains diverse people groups, and their religions remain deeply tied to geography and tribal lands, the continent’s history is a tapestry of distinct spiritual traditions. Many share common threads, including the belief in spirits, respect for the dead, and the importance of the intersection between humanity and nature. Also common: many of these religions rely on oral history and tradition, rather than scriptures. Though Christianity and Islam are today the dominant religious traditions in Africa, informal estimates place the number of adherents to Traditional African Religions at 100 million. The following list — borrowed from Wikipedia — identifies some of the best known or most prominent of these religions:

Zoroastrianism
Zoroastrianism is considered one of the world’s oldest religions, and some of its earliest ideas — messianism, posthumous judgment, and the duality of heaven and hell — are believed to have informed the evolution of Judaism, as well as Gnosticism, Christianity, and Islam. Its founding figure, Zoroaster, was an innovative religious thinker and teacher who is believed to have lived between 700 BCE and 500 BCE in Persia (modern-day Iran). Its primary text, the Avesta, combines the Gathas (Zoroaster’s writings) with the Yasna (the scriptural basis of Zoroastrianism). Zoroaster’s influence loomed large in his time and place. In fact, Zoroastrianism was soon adopted as the official state religion of the Persian Empire and remained so for nearly a thousand years.

Zoroaster’s ideas finally fell out of authority after the Muslim conquest of Persia in the seventh century CE. What followed was centuries of persecution and suppression by Muslim conquerors, to the point of almost entirely snuffing out Zoroastrian teachings and practices in the Arabic-speaking world. These practices have seen a small resurgence in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, with some Iranians and Iraqi Kurdish populations adopting Zoroastrianism as a mode of resistance to theocratic governance.

Today, there are roughly 190,000 Zoroastrians, mostly concentrated in Iran, Iraq, and India

Sikhism
Sikhism is a monotheistic faith emerging from and remaining concentrated in the Punjabi region that traverses Northern India and Eastern Pakistan. The Sikh religion came into focus during the late 15th century and draws its tenets of faith, meditation, social justice, and human equality from a scripture called the Guru Granth Sahib.

The first spiritual leader of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, lived from 1469 to 1539 and taught that a good, spiritual life must be intertwined with a secular life well-lived. He called for activity, creativity, fidelity, self-control, and purity. More important than the metaphysical, Guru Nanak argued, is a life in which one enacts the will of God. Guru Nanak was succeeded by a subsequent line of nine gurus, who served as spiritual leaders. The tenth in this line of successors, Guru Gobind Singh, named the scriptures as his successor. This was the end of human authority in the Sikh faith and the emergence of the scriptures as a singular spiritual guide.

Today, the more than 28 million estimated adherents of Sikhism are largely concentrated in India, making it the seventh largest religion in the world.

Shinto
Shinto is religious tradition native to Japan. Initially an informal collection of beliefs and mythologies, Shinto was less a religion than a distinctly Japanese form of cultural observance. The first recorded use of the term Shinto can be traced to the sixth century CE and is essentially the connective tissue between ancient Japanese customs and modern Japanese life. The primary focus of Shinto is the native belief in kami (spirits) and interaction with them through public shrines.

These shrines are an essential artifact of — and channel for — Shinto observation. More than 80,000 Shinto shrines dot Japan. Traditional Japanese styles of dress, dance, and ritual are also rooted in Shinto customs.

Roughly 3–4% of the Japanese population identifies as being part of a Shinto sect or congregation. By contrast, in a 2008 survey, roughly 26% of Japanese citizens reported visiting Shinto shrines.




Shinto is unique among religions. As a reflection of Japanese identity, Shinto observance is not necessarily limited to those who view themselves as religious adherents. Roughly 3–4% of the Japanese population identifies as being part of a Shinto sect or congregation. By contrast, in a 2008 survey, roughly 26% of Japanese citizens reported visiting Shinto shrines.

Rastafarianism
Rastafarianism is a newer religious movement that follows in the Abrahamic tradition of monotheism, referring to the singular deity as Jah. Rastafari hold the Christian Bible as their primary scripture but offer an interpretation highly connected to their own political and geographical realities. Centered around early 20th century Jamaica, Rastafarianism emerged as a ethnocultural reaction to British occupation and oppression. This oppression would play a major role in the Afrocentric interpretation of the Bible favored by Rastafari.

In the early 1930s, a movement of Rastafarians espoused that the faithful were living in an African diaspora, scattered from their homelands by colonization and slavery. To be freed from oppression in Western society (or Babylon), many Rastafari believe it necessary to resettle adherents in the African homelands. A figure of central importance in the Rastafarian faith, Haile Selassie rose to the rank of Emperor of Ethiopia in 1930. This was considered the germinal moment in the emergence of the modern religious tradition. Selassie was viewed by Rastafari as the Second Coming, a direct descendant of Christ, and the Messiah foretold in the Book of Revelation.

Selassie was seen as the man who would lead the people of Africa, and those living in the diaspora, to freedom and liberation. His 1966 visit to Jamaica would become the pivotal moment in the spread of Rastafari ideas and the resultant political movement for liberation within Jamaica. This visit led to the eventual conversion of Rastafari’s most famous adherent, singer Bob Marley. Marley would help to spread the popular visibility of the faith, as well as its practices of communal gathering, musical expression, preservation of the natural world, and the use of cannabis as a spiritual sacrament. Today, between 700,000 and one million adherents practice Rastafarianism, the majority of them concentrated in Jamaica.

Judaism
Judaism is one of the oldest monotheistic world religions, among the first ethnoreligious groups to move away from idolatry or paganism and toward the recognition of a single deity. Judaism is said to have begun with the figure of Abraham, a man living in the Land of Canaan — a geographical expanse likely encompassing portions of Phoenicia, Philistia, and Israel. In the Tanakh — the body of Jewish scripture which includes a foundational text called The Torah, and later supplemental texts call the Midrash and the Talmud — it is said that God spoke to Abraham and commanded him to recognize the singularity and omnipotence of God. Abraham accepted, becoming the father not just of Judaism but of the various monotheistic (or Abrahamic) religions that followed.

Thus, Abraham is seen not just as the first prophet of Judaism, but also of the Christian and Islamic faiths that sprung from the Judaic tradition. The Jewish faith is based upon a covenant between Abraham and God in which the former renounced idolatry and accepted the latter as the only divine authority. In exchange, God promised to make Abraham’s offspring a “Chosen People.” This Chosen People would become the Children of Israel, and eventually, the Jewish faith. To seal the covenant, Abraham became the first recipient of the ritualistic circumcision. This circumcision is still performed today on every newborn Jewish male as a symbol of that covenant.

With roughly 14.3 million adherents, practitioners of Judaism comprise about 0.2% of the world’s population.

Historians observe that while Abraham almost certainly lived more than 3,000 years ago, literary liberties taken with the scriptures make it impossible to ascertain exactly when he lived. But his influence would loom large in the ancient world, with the rabbinic moral codes of Judaism and its model of ethical monotheism both significantly informing the formulation of law and religion in western civilization. With roughly 14.3 million adherents, practitioners of Judaism comprise about 0.2% of the world’s population.

Jainism
Jainism is an ancient Indian religion that — according to its adherents — can be traced through a succession of 24 sagely teachers. The first of these teachers is thought to have been Rishabhanatha, who lived millions of years ago. Jainism’s primary tenets are ahiṃsā (nonviolence), anekāntavāda (many-sidedness), aparigraha (nonattachment) and asceticism (abstinence from pleasure). These and other concepts are outlined in the Acaranga Sutra, the oldest of the Jainist scriptures.

As one of the earliest extant religious traditions to emerge from the spiritually fertile Indian subcontinent, Jainism both shares with and diverges from features of the Hindu and Buddhist traditions that also emerged there. Like Hindu and Buddhism, Jainism teaches the doctrines of karma, rebirth, and monastic (as opposed to theistic) spiritual practices.

Jainists believe the soul is an ever-changing thing, bound to the body only for a lifetime, which differs from Hindu or Buddhist ideas about the soul as part of an infinite and constant universe. This focus on the corporeal also extends to the Jainist caste system, which, not unlike Hinduism, requires adherents eschew social liberation in favor of spiritual liberation. Today, most of the world’s four to five million Jains reside in India.

Islam
Islam is a monotheistic religion that — like Christianity and Judaism — traces its roots to the Garden of Eden, Adam, and the prophet Abraham. Islam teaches that Allah is the only God and that Muhammed is his messenger. Islam holds that God spoke to Muhammed through the archangel Gabriel some time around 600 CE, delivering the revelations that would form the Quran. This primary text of the Islamic faith is believed by adherents to contain the exact words of God and therefore provides a full and nonnegotiable blueprint for how to live.

The Quran and the Islamic legal code known as Sharia inform every aspect of life, from ethics and worship to family matters and business dealings. Islam holds that good behavior and adherence will lead to an afterlife in paradise, whereas disregard for Muhammed’s teachings will lead to damnation.

The Islamic faith proliferated rapidly through the Middle East, particularly around the three holiest sites of the faith: Mecca, where an awakened Muhammed made his first pilgrimage; Medina, the center of early Islamic faith under Muhammed’s leadership; and Jerusalem, the spiritual capital of the ancient world. In the centuries to follow, Islam would simultaneously produce countless wars of succession and a growing sense of spiritual unity within the Arab World. This dichotomy between internal conflict and cultural unity remains a presence in the Islamic faith today. This dichotomy would also give way to a division between the two dominant sects of Islam, Sunni and Shia. Today, Islam is the dominant faith for large swaths of geography, particularly in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North Africa. With more than 1.6 billion adherents, Islam is the second largest religion in the world and the chief spiritual identity for more than 24% of the world’s population

IFA Religion .

Numerous theories regarding Ifa's origin are available. Like other religions and traditions, Ifa's history is woven with numerous folktales, myths, and legends, all deeply rooted in the rich Yoruba culture. The first theory posits that the Ifa oracle was founded by the grand priest, commonly known as the Orunmila. According to Yoruba mythology, the grand priest was sent to earth by the supreme creator to bring laws into the world.


The Orunmila then founded the first Ifa centre in a place known as Ile-Ife (widely believed to be the cradle of the Yoruba people). He then initiated his first students, known as Akoda and Aseda. The second mythology states that Ifa was brought by a man known as Setiu, who settled in Ile-Ifu. The last theory states that Ifa was brought to the Yoruba people by Arugba, the eight Alaafin (owner of a palace) of Oyo



According to Ifa, there is only one supreme God known as Olodumare. The name is derived from the phrase 'O ní odù mà rè' that loosely translates to 'he who owns all creation so that it does not become empty.' The Yoruba people believe that Olodumare has no gender and is barely involved in the activities of human beings here on earth. The religion posits that Olodumare created a complete universe that has everything human beings require to lead happy and fulfilled lives. Ifa's creation theory states that Olodumare created the entire universe, designed the seasons, night and day, and set the destinies of humans. When some misfortune befalls a person, the Yorubas say that the said person is 'under the lashes of the Olodumare.:


The Ifa religion states that there are 201 powers of the right side, commonly known as Iborra or Irumole, and 201 powers of the left side, known as Ajogun. The right-side powers are the Orisa, while the left side powers are the demons.

The Orisa protects and facilitates humankind's well-being, while the Ajogun presents humankind with obstacles and unending challenges. Eshu's place in the spirit is unique since he is both Ajogun and Orisa. He can be on both sides at the same time.



As the head of the demons, Eshu has command over the eight agents of mischief identified in Ifa. These are Iku (death), Arun (sickness), Egba (paralysis), Epe (curse), Ewon (imprisonment), Oran (great trouble), Ofo ( great loss) and Ese (all other problems). For his ability to be both bad and good, Eshu is loved and feared by all. During Ifa sacrifices, Eshu is usually offered the sacrificial item before any other Orisa.

Hinduism
Hinduism is regarded by some as the world’s oldest religion, likely dating back to what is known on the Indian subcontinent as the Vedic age. During this period, 1500–600 BCE, civilization transitioned from tribal and pastoral living into settled and agricultural living. From this emerged social classes, state-entities, and monarchies. The primary texts retelling this period of history are called the Vedas and would significantly inform the so-called Hindu Synthesis.

The Hindu Synthesis was a period of time, roughly 500 BCE to 300 CE, in which the precepts of Hinduism solidified from multiple intertwining strands of Indian spiritual and cultural tradition, emerging from a broad range of philosophies to share a unifying set of concepts. Critical among these concepts is the theme of the Four Purusarthas, or goals, of human life: Dharma (ethics and duties), Artha (prosperity and work), Kama (desires and passions), and Moksha (liberation and salvation). Other important concepts include karma, which asserts a universal relationship between action, intent, and consequences; samsara, the Hindu concept of rebirth; and a wide range of Yogic practices merging the body, mind, and elements.

Though no one figure or group is credited with its founding, Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world today. Its more than one billion adherents comprise more than 15% of the world’s population.

Gnosticism
Gnosticism likely refers not to a single religious orientation but to an “interreligious phenomenon” in which various groups across an array of regions evolved to a similar set of beliefs and ideas. A term adapted in modern historical discourse, gnosticism concerns the variety of religious systems and beliefs in the ancient world that emerged from the Judeo-Christian tradition. These belief systems held that emanations from a single God were responsible for the creation of the material world and that, as such, all humans carried the divine spark of God. Gnosticism is dualistic and draws sharp divides between the superior spiritual world and the inferior material world, with the gaining or receiving of special, hidden knowledge (“gnosis”) allowing transcendence from one realm to another. Emerging in the first century CE — in close concert with the emergence of Christianity — gnosticism is perhaps best understand as the intermediary set of ideas shared by portions of the world as Christianity gradually eclipsed Judaism in size and scope

Atheism/Agnosticism/Freethinking
Atheism refers to either the absence of a belief in the existence of deities or to an active belief that deities do not exist. This belief system rejects theology as well as the constructs of organized religion. Use of the term originated in the ancient world and was meant to degrade those who rejected commonly accepted religious precepts. It was first self-applied during the Age of Enlightenment in 18th century France. The French Revolution was driven by the prioritization of human reason over the abstract authority of religion. This prompted a period of skeptical inquiry, one in which atheism became an important cultural, philosophical, and political entity.

Many who characterize themselves as atheists argue that a lack of proof or scientific process prevents the belief in a deity. Some who refer to themselves as secular humanists have developed a code of ethics that exists separate from the worship of a deity. Determining the actual number of “practicing” atheists is quite difficult, given the absence of a unifying religious organization. Polling around the world has produced an extremely wide variance, with the largest rates of atheism generally seen in Europe and East Asia.

Closely related is the idea of agnosticism, which doesn’t profess to know whether there is or isn’t a deity. Instead, agnosticism argues that the limits of human reasoning and understanding make the existence of god(s), the origins of the universe, and the possibility of an afterlife all unknowable. Like atheism, the term emerged around the fifth century BCE and was contemplated with particular interest in Indian cultures. It gained more popular modern visibility when coined by English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley, who in 1869 recognized that incapacity of humans to truly answer questions regarding the divine. To Huxley, and the agnostic and athiest thinkers who followed, theistic or gnostic religions lack scientific basis, and therefore, should be rejected.

Druze
Druze refers to an Arabic ethnoreligious group that originated in and still largely inhabits the Mountain of Druze region in southern Syria. Despite a small population of adherents, the Druze nonetheless play an important role in the development of their region (known in historical shorthand as the Levant). The Druze view themselves as the direct descendants of Jethro of Midian, distinguished in Jewish scripture as the father-in-law of Moses. The Druze consider Jethro a “hidden” prophet, one through whom God spoke to “revealed prophet” Moses.

As such, the Druze are considered related to Judaism by marriage. Like their in-laws, the Druze are monotheistic, professing faith in only one God. Druze ideologies are something of a hybrid though, drawing from the cultural teachings of Islam, but also incorporating the wisdom of Greek philosophers, such as Plato, and concepts of reincarnation similar to those in Hindu canon.

Jethro’s status as a hidden prophet is an important conceptual dimension of the Druze culture. Indeed, its present-day scriptures and community remain somewhat insular. The close-knit communities rooted in present day Syria, Lebanon, and Israel have long been subject to persecution, particularly at the hands of Islamic theocracies. This may be one reason that the Druze, while participating actively in the politics and affairs of their home nations, shield their customs and practices from the eyes of outsiders. Today, there are between 800,000 and one million Druze adherents, nearly all of them concentrated in the Middle East.

Confucianism
Confucianism was a dominant form of philosophy and religious orientation in ancient China, one that emerged from the teachings of Chinese philosopher Confucius, who lived 551–479 BCE. Confucius viewed himself as a channel for the theological ideas emerging from the imperial dynasties that came before him. With an emphasis on family and social harmony, Confucianism was a distinctly humanist and even secularist religious ideology. Confucianism had a profound impact on the development of Eastern legal customs and the emergence of a scholar class (and with it, a meritocratic way of governing).

Confucianism would engage in a historic push and pull with the philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism, experiencing ebbs and flows in influence, with high points during the Han (206 BCE to 220 CE), Tang (618–907 CE) and Song (960–1296 CE) Dynasties. As Buddhism became the dominant spiritual force in China, Confucianism declined in practice. And with the emergence of communism and Maoism in the 20th century, the mainstream practice of Confucianism was largely at an end.

However, it remains a foundational ideology and force underlying Asian and Chinese attitudes toward scholarly, legal, and professional pursuits. Indeed, the strong work ethic advocated by Confucianism is seen as a major catalyst for the late 20th century rise of the Asian economies. Today, there are various independent Confucian congregations, but it was only in 2015 that congregation leaders in China gathered together to form the Holy Confucian Church.


Confucius was a Chinese philosopher and politician of the Spring and Autumn period. The philosophy of Confucius, also known as Confucianism, emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice, kindness, and sincerity.

Christianity
Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life and teaching of Jesus of Nazareth. Christianity teaches that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah (the savior of humanity foretold in the Torah, the primary scriptural doctrine of the Jewish faith). Christian scripture incorporates both the Torah (referred to by Christians as the Old Testament) with the story of Jesus, his teachings, and those of his contemporaneous disciples (the New Testament). These form the Bible, the central text of the Christian faith. Christianity began in Jerusalem as an outgrowth of Judaism that considered Jesus the Christ (meaning “anointed one”). This idea and its adherents spread rapidly through ancient Judea around the first century CE, then throughout the ancient world.

Christians believe Jesus successfully met and completed all the requirements of the Old Testament laws, took upon himself the sins of the world during his crucifixion, died, and rose to life again so that those who place their faith in him are forgiven their sins, reconciled to God, and granted grace for daily living. Christians maintain that heaven with God awaits them after bodily death, whereas eternal separation from God in hell awaits those who neither received forgiveness for their sins nor acknowledged Jesus as Lord Who is Equally God his Father but not the same as the Holy Spirit, even though they are said to be one , (well only Christians would understand that)

Christianity is the largest religion in the world, with roughly 2.4 billion adherents, or 33% of the total population.

Christianity has seen countless reformation movements, which spawned innumerable sects and offshoot denominations. Far too many forms of practice exist to be named in one place, but the faith’s three largest branches are Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. Combined, Christianity is the largest religion in the world, with roughly 2.4 billion adherents, or 33% of the total population. Its impact on the shape of world history and on present-day world culture is incalculable.

Buddhism
Buddhism is both a religion and philosophy. The traditions and beliefs surrounding Buddhism can be traced to the original teachings of Gautama Buddha, a sagely thinker who is believed to have lived between the fourth and sixth centuries BCE. The Buddha lived and taught in the eastern part of ancient India, providing the template for a faith based on the ideas of moral rectitude, freedom from material attachment or desire, the achievement of peace and illumination through meditation, and a life dedicated to wisdom, kindness, and compassion. The Buddha’s teachings proliferated widely through much of Asia in the centuries that followed.

Though its scriptures and traditions inform countless subsequent sects and ideologies, Buddhism is largely divided into two branches: Theravada — the goal of which is to achieve freedom from ignorance, material attachment, and anger by practicing the Noble Eightfold Path, all in pursuit of a sublime state called Nirvana; and Mahayana — the goal of which is aspire to Buddhahood by practicing the Zen principles of self-control, meditation, and expression of the insight of Buddha in your daily life, especially for the benefit of others, all to the end of achieving bodhisattva, or an ongoing cycle of rebirth by which you can continue to enlighten others.


Today, roughly 7% of the world practices some form of Buddhism, making it the fourth largest of the world’s religions, with an estimated 500 million adherents across both the Eastern and Western World.

Buddhism is the world's fourth-largest religion with over 520 million followers, or over 7% of the global population, known as Buddhists. Buddhism encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices largely based on original teachings attributed to the Buddha and resulting interpreted philosophies

Bahá’í

The Bahá’í faith is essentially a spiritual ideology that teaches the value of all religions, espousing the importance of universal equality and unity. Bahá’u’lláh, the founding figure in the Bahá’í faith, officially established his ideology in 1863 in Persia (or modern-day Iran). As something of a hybrid of other faiths, Bahá’í grew out of the tradition of Babism, which itself emerged from an Islamic denomination called Shaykhism. (Today, Babism exists with a few thousand adherents, concentrated largely in Iran, and standing separately from the Islamic ideologies that surround it.) Like Babism, Bahá’í incorporates some of the teachings of Islam but merges them with some Christian principles. The central governing body of the Bahá’í faith, a nine-member council called the Universal House of Justice, operates from Haifa, Israel. Today, the Bahá’í faith has somewhere between five and seven million adherents around the world.
The Baháʼí Faith is a religion teaching the essential worth of all religions, and the unity of all people. Established by Baháʼu'lláh in 1863, it initially grew in Persia and parts of the Middle East, where it has faced ongoing persecution since its inception.

The Paranoid Family Annihilator The Paranoid Family Annihilator sees a perceived threat to the family, and feels they are ‘protecting them’ by killing them. Examples are that the children will be removed by the legal system or they will not gain child access after a divorce. Fact: 49% of Family Annihilator Murders happen on the weekend, usually on a Sunday.

Muhammad Igomigoh
Location : Baltimore county, US
Motive : Financial Stress
A Nigerian, Muhammadu Igomigoh, living in the United States has killed the mother of his two children and committed suicide afterward.

According to Baltimore County Police, the killing occurred on Tuesday.

Forty nine-year-old Igomigoh, a security guard, was said to have shot his Nigerian estranged wife, 44-year-old Nnenna Ogbonna, a licensed nurse and then killed himself following an alleged dispute over money.

According to police report, Igomigoh visited Ogbonna’s home at 700 block of Nothrop Lane on the day of the incident and the two had argued over finances.

Igomigoh, who had a licensed gun as a security guard, shot Nnenna and then turned the gun on himself.

The Baltimore Police said they were called shortly before 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday to the apartment.

They said they found the two Nigerians suffering from gunshot wounds and were later declared dead at the scene.

Police said the handgun Igomigoh used was legally registered to him. Igomigoh also had a carry permit for the gun, which he used in his employment as a security guard.

Robert Farquharson
Where: Australia
Motive: To punish his ex-wife to moving on with a new man


Robert Farquharson was pissed. He and his wife Cindy had separated a few months back. He hadn’t taken it well. He was prescribed anti-depressants and saw a psychologist to deal with breakup. But now, Cindy had a new man. They would never be together again. She lived with her new man in HIS house, with HIS sons, and they were driving THE GOOD CAR. All he drove was a crappy Commodore. How dare she. She got everything, and Robert perceived that he got nothing. Robert wanted vengeance. He wanted Cindy to pay. On Father’s Day in 2005, Robert Farquahason did the unthinkable.
He was due to drop his three sons back to Cindy. He never arrived. Instead he drove his car with his three sons strapped into the back into a cold, dark, deep dam. He then flagged down the first car he could find. Instead of calling the Police, Robert only wanted to do one thing, to see Cindy. The driver dropped Robert off at his ex-wife Cindy’s home where he knocked on the door. When Cindy answered he said ‘I’ve killed the kids’. Cindy’s new partner, flew to the dam and tried desperately to save the boys. But it was too late. The vehicle was retrieved from the water 2am the next day. All three boys were still inside the vehicle, although Jai, the eldest son, was out of his seatbelt. It is believed he tried to get his brothers out of the car.
Robert told Police he had a coughing fit and blacked out, and that’s why the car ended up the dam. However a few months before, he had told a mate that he intended to kill his children to get back at his wife. Robert Farquaharson was charged with life imprisonment with a 33 year minimum.

John Sharpe
Where: Mornington, Australia
Motive: Burden of an additional child, to potentially hide the sexual abuse of his daughter Victims: 3


John Sharpe and his wife Anna had been arguing. They were arguing a lot lately. Anna was pregnant with their second child but John didn’t seem to care about the pregnancy. He didn’t attend the ultrasound, and hardly even murmured a response when Anna told him the sex of the baby. John had struggled with the birth of their daughter Gracie a few years back. Gracie had hip dysplasia, which meant she had to be strapped into a corrective harness. This made Gracie irritable, she cried a lot. She had trouble eating and trouble sleeping to the point where Anna had to seek professional help. John was disillusioned by both his wife, who wore the pants in the family, and his child, who did nothing but cry. He didn’t want another child. So he took care of it. In 2003, John Sharpe went down to the local fishing supplies store and bought a speargun. He spent hours in the back yard firing the gun, practicing. Learning how it worked. He hadn’t shown any interest in spear fishing before. On the 23rd March 2004, the couple argued yet again before bed. John casually got up, retrieved the speargun from the shed, and fired it into his wife’s temple. But she didn’t die. So John fired a second spear into Anna’s head. This one had the desired effect. He covered Anna’s body with towels and went to bed on the downstairs sofa-bed. The next day, John took Gracie to daycare. When he got home, he tried to pull the spears from his wife’s body, but could only remove part of them. He then buried her in the backyard. He went back to the fishing supplies store to purchase more spears.

Six days after killing his wife, John put Gracie to bed, and downed a few potent alcoholic drinks. He loaded the new spear and fired it into Gracie’s skull. Gracie screamed, John went running to grab the two spears he had removed from his wife and and fired both into Gracie. But she still lived. So he pulled one of the spears out of Gracie, and again, shot the spear into her head. He bundled her body into a garbage bag and disposed of her body at the local transfer station. John then pretended that Anna had taken Gracie and gone to live with Anna’s new lover. Anna’s family were suspicious – it wasn’t like Anna never to call. Then Anna’s mother received a bunch of flowers from Anna with a note – her mother then knew something terrible had happened. It took two months for Police to investigate the disappearance of Anna and Gracie. Finally after multiple Police interviews, he admitted to the murders of Anna, her unborn child and their daughter Gracie. John Sharpe told Police he had killed Anna because she was moody and irritable and tended to be controlling. He said their marriage was ‘loveless’. Police believe that Sharpe may have killed Anna because she uncovered the sexual abuse of Gracie by her father. The bodies were recovered and Sharpe was sentenced to two consecutive life terms of imprisonment. He resides in protective custody due to ongoing threats of harm by other prisoners.

Scott Petersen
Where: California, United States
Motive: Desire for a fresh start with his mistress, burden of a child
Victims: His wife, Laci Petersen and their unborn son Connor.

Laci Petersen was eight months pregnant with a baby boy when she went missing just before Christmas. It was the 24th December. Her husband, Scott Petersen said that he had left to go fishing Berkely Marina. He had told other people he had planned to play golf on Christmas Eve. Scott said that when he left home, Laci was about to take the dog out for a walk. Later that day, the Petersen’s dog was found wandering with a leash attached. There was no sign of Laci. Scott Petersen returned home later in the day. There was no sign of Laci, even though her vehicle was in the driveway. At 5:15pm, Scott called his Mother in Law and Laci’s Step father, who called the Police. The Police arrived to find the dining room table of the Petersen house was fully set for Christmas. Laci’s purse, keys and sunglasses were on the bench. A huge scale search was undertaken looking for Laci. Scott Petersen didn’t seem worried, and this worried the police.


After a few weeks and still no sign of Laci, a member of the public, Amber Frey, called the Police. She couldn’t understand why her boyfriend, Scott Petersen, was on the television and billboards looking for his wife. Petersen had told his mistress, Amber, he was single, he also told her he was over in Paris. All of this was whilst Scott was attending a memorial service for his wife. Police had Amber tape multiple phone-calls with Scott, trying to get him to confess to the murder of his wife. Amber fully cooperated with Police and recorded an astounding 27 hours of recordings, whilst trying not to let him know the Police were onto him.

In April, the remains of a male fetus washed up ashore near where Scott Petersen had been fishing. The next day, the partial remains of a female washed up – no head, no arms or legs. DNA proved that the remains were that of Laci Petersen and their unborn son, Connor. Petersen was arrested soon after as he had changed his appearance and Police feared he would try and run. He had with him camping equipment, four mobile phones, had grown a goatee beard and had dyed his hair blonde. He was charged with two counts of murder. Although no forensic evidence could be found for the murders, it was the overwhelming circumstantial evidence that put Scott Petersen behind bars. The fact he had a girlfriend who knew nothing of his wife, the fact he went fishing when she disappeared and contents of the taped telephone calls. Petersen had also taken out a $250,000 life insurance policy on his wife. The prosecution for the case say the reason for the killings were that Scott and Lacy had increased debt, the pressure of a child, and Scott’s desire to be single again

Where: Colorado, United States
Motive: Desire for a fresh start with his mistress, burden of an additional child.
Victims: 4


From outside, Chris Watts looked like he had it made. He had two beautiful daughters, Bella aged 4, and little Celeste 3. His wife, Shanann was 15 weeks pregnant with a much wanted baby boy. He had a successful job ,even looked like Ryan Renolds
Had a job for a Gas and Oil company and from the outside, the family had an idealistic life. But inside, the family were crumbing. The couple had extensive financial problems. Medical bills had stacked up as Shannan had a severe case of lupus.

They had previously filed for bankruptcy and their credit card bills were out of control. Shanann had a job working in a call centre, and her own small business in a multi-level-marketing position was taking off which was taking her away from the family home on the odd weekend for meetings and training. Watts had supported his wife throughout her illness and the couple where shocked when she first become pregnant as they had been told it would be nearly impossible for her to conceive due to the lupus. A second precious daughter came along soon afterwards.

But Chris Watts was tired of family life. He yearned to be a bachelor. He wanted a life free from the constrains of raising children and being financially responsible. Watts had started an affair with a co-worker. He had told his mistress he was seeking a divorce from Shanann. Shanann had noticed her husband’s suspicious behavior and had confronted him repeatedly after noticing restaurant and hotel charges on the credit card.

On the 13th August 2019, Shanann was returning from a business trip in Arizona. She had her best friend Nickole pick her up from the airport and drop her home. Nickole knew of their marital troubles and had told Nickole that Chris didn’t want another baby and that he felt that they were no longer compatable as a couple. Shanann had also told her friend that she didn’t feel safe with Chris after what he said about the baby.’ It was the last time she was seen alive. Later the same day, Nickole became concerned when Shanann failed to attend a pre-natal appointment and wasn’t returning her text messages or calls. She reported it to the police. The police undertook a welfare check on the family. The house was searched by Police where they found Shanann’s handbag, mobile phone and car keys. Both the girls car seats were also inside the home.

The Police started their investigation. The Watts’ neighbor had a surveillance camera that proved that Shanann had not left the house, but showed Chris Watt loaded suspicious looking packages into the back of his vehicle. But Watt’s was unconcerned about his family’s whereabouts. He had un-enrolled the girls from their pre-school and had set up appointments to sell the family home. He was also seeking deals for a holiday in Aspen. The Police arrested Watts and on suspicion of murder. He subsequently confessed that Shanann had strangled the two girls, and he had killed his wife in a fit of rage. Police located the bodies of Shanann and their two daughters in oil tanks at his place of employment. Chris Watts eventually pleaded to the murders of all three of his family members, and his unborn son, Niko. He has been sentenced to life without parole.

The Anomic Family Annihilator Anomic Family Annihilators see the family as an extension of their own success. So if the success eludes the family eg bankruptcy or a public scandal, the family is no longer serving this function. Example: John List killed his mother, wife and three children to hide the fact that he had financial problems.


John List was an outwardly normal and successful father. A Sunday school teacher and Boy Scout troop leader, List was a strict disciplinarian who insisted his children follow extremely rigid rules.

On November 9, seemingly out of the blue, List shot his mother Alma (above her left eye), his wife Helen (in the side of the head), and two of his children in the back of their heads; he then shot his oldest child, a son, several times in the chest and face. He then left the murder weapon alongside their carefully laid-out corpses. List had methodically devised a plan so that the bodies would not be discovered for quite a while, cancelling newspaper, milk, and mail delivery to his home in the days leading up to the murder. He then called the children’s schools to say that the family was going to visit a sick relative out of town. By the time authorities discovered the bodies, List had vanished without a trace.


Local law enforcement officials had essentially given up looking for List when the television show America’s Most Wanted began airing in the late 1980s. After a segment about the List murders aired on May 21, 1989, calls began flooding in. Although most of them proved to be unhelpful, one viewer claimed that John List was living in Virginia under the alias Robert Clark.

Indeed, List had assumed a false identity, relocated to the South, and remarried. In 1989, he was returned to New Jersey to face charges for the death of his family. The following year, he was convicted of five counts of murder and received five consecutive life sentences. He died in prison in 2008.

The Disappointed Family Annihilator The Disappointed Family Annihilator believe that they have done right by their family, but the family has not done right by them. For example a child can come out as gay or oppose the family’s religious beliefs. Honor killings are placed into this category. Popular Example: Mohammed Riaz (still on the run as of last night i checked )killed his family by setting fire the family home after his daughters had become Westernized
