Prosecutors revealed in a new court document a New Hampshire mom's final words to her husband before her teen brother-in-law allegedly murdered her and her two young sons.
A New Hampshire mom sent her husband a message minutes before her teen brother-in-law allegedly shot her and her two young sons to death. Prosecutors revealed 25-year-old Kassandra Sweeney's final words to Sean Sweeney in court papers filed last week in the Aug. 3, 2022, triple murder in Northfield. The couple exchanged Snapchat videos and messages, including of their young sons, Benjamin, 4, and 23-month-old Mason. 'I hope they make you laugh,' she wrote at 10:49 a.m.
The details were in a motion filed by the New Hampshire State Attorney's Office asking that the 17-year-old accused killer, Eric Sweeney, continue to be held without bail, which a judge granted. The 10-page document revealed more information about the horrific slayings than prosecutors or police have disclosed since Eric, then 16, was arrested the day of the crime.
Sean, who drove an oil delivery truck at the time, was on his route when Eric called from Kassandra's iPhone and claimed 'someone broke in and killed them all.' Shortly after police arrived, Sean pulled up, followed by Eric behind the wheel of Kassandra's silver Ford F-150. In an interview with investigators, Eric said he was in the basement when he heard something break, then a 'deep, male voice yelling followed by multiple ‘pops.
Eric, who is being tried as an adult, has been indicted on three counts of first-degree murder and one count of falsifying physical evidence, according to court records.
