Evil family killer Chris Watts has shared gory details of the murders of his wife and young daughters in horrifying letters sent from prison. The 38-year-old took the lives of Shannan, 34, Bella, four, and Cece, three, in August 2018.
Now, the murderer has described the deaths of his family in grim detail in letters sent from behind bars to author Cheryln Cadle from the Dodge Correctional Institution, Wisconsin. As reported by The Mail, he described how he had been "thinking about killing" Shannan for several weeks - and that he failed in his initial attempt to smother his daughters, who followed him around the house while he dealt with his wife's body.
"I went to Bella's room, then Cece's room and used a pillow from their bed [to kill them]. That's why the cause of death was smothering. After I left Cece's room, then I climbed back in bed with Shanann and our argument ensued." The murderer, who planned to run away with his secret lover, Nicole Kessinger, said he noticed that Shannan had posthumously given birth when he dumped her in the grave. He said: "When I dug the hole, it seemed a lot deeper than it was. As I pulled on the sheet she rolled out and into the hole.
