Today’s true crime case takes us to the early hours of October 4th, 2009 when 42 year old Kimberly Cates was in bed asleep with her 11 year old daughter Jamie at their home in the town of Mont Vernon in the state of New Hampshire in the United States. This was a place where both should have been secure and safe. Little did they know that 4 depraved young men had chosen their home at random to break in to and they were intending to kill anyone present as an initiation into a club called the Disciples of Destruction created by the leader of the group 17 year old Steven Spader. Spader later described himself as “the most sick and twisted person you’ll ever meet.'. Spader and his right-hand man 19 year old Christopher Gribble attacked Kimberley and Jamie. Kimberley was hacked to death with a machete and Jamie was brutally attacked but, despite suffering horrific injuries survived. The group were arrested almost immediately, and the nation was shocked by the age of the perpetrators, the savagery of their crimes and their utter remorselessness.
