On Thursday a 49-year-old MI man was charged with torturing his wife and murdering his two kids and two stepchildren. “A confluence of events led to the deaths of four handsome children”, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said. She is recovering at an area hospital.

In 1991, Green stabbed his pregnant wife to death then called police to the Detroit home, according to the Department of Corrections.
