Ex-con charged with killing 4 at family home in Detroit area
DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. — A Detroit-area man who served 16 years in prison for killing his first wife was charged Thursday with killing his two children and two stepchildren, and torturing his wife.
Prosecutors allege that Gregory V. Green bound his wife, cut her face with a box cutter and shot her in the foot before fatally shooting her teenage children in front of her Wednesday at the family’s home in Dearborn Heights.
Green, 49, also is accused of killing his and his wife’s young daughters by carbon monoxide poisoning at the home.
“The thought that you could do something to your own children has no correlation to any reason in my mind,” police Capt. Michael Petri said outside court, adding that he was in “disbelief.”
