MORRISVILLE, Pa. (WPVI) –

Family members believe that religious or religious motivations led a mother and daughter to kill five relatives, including three children, in a Bucks County home earlier this week.

According to court documents, Shana Decree, 45, and her 19-year-old daughter Dominique, told the authorities that all the people who lived in the Morrisville home had talked about suicide before the murderous incident. Shana and Dominic were each charged with 5 counts of murder and one count of conspiracy.

Once inside the home of West Bridge Street on Monday afternoon, police discovered the bodies of children of Na'a Irah Smith, 25, and Damon Decree Jr., 13, of Morrisville, Shana's sister, Jamilla Campbell, 42, from Trenton. , New Jersey, and 9-year-old twins from Campbell, Imani and Erika Allen.

The bereaved parents expressed their suspicions about what led to the killings.

"They were all living religious and they decided to train the kids," said Destiny Harris, the half-sister of the killed twins.

From his home in North Carolina, Damon Decree's father, the ex-husband and father of the accused, said the family had "talked about the demons that surrounded it." His 13-year-old son was murdered.

"Apparently, they dissected into a type of worship that they materialized online, I do not know how or what kind of worship," the decree said.

Decree says that this has been happening since last month and they called the services to children. He was an employee of the Bucks County Children's and Youth Services Agency who was doing a welfare check at home who contacted a maintenance worker, and then the police after he left. There was no answer to the door, according to documents.

Harris said that the twins should never have been involved in what other parents in the homes practiced.

"They were 9. They did not deserve that, they did not have to go through it," she said. "They should never have been involved in family or religious problems, they are too young, too young to understand, they had no choice."

The twins had to celebrate their 10th birthday on Friday.

Morrisville Police Chief George McClay questioned children's involvement in a murder and suicide pact under the direction of a religious cult .

"Two nine-year-olds can not make that decision, and another 13. Is this something in the minds of adults? I do not know, but it's probably not in there. mind of the nine-year-old, "says McClay.

Damon Decree said he wanted his wife and daughter to be held responsible for the crime.

"I do not want them in an insane asylum, I want to see them in prison for the rest of their lives," he said.

The police have not yet published an official reason for the murders.
