In New Jersey, a tech executive named Paul Caneiro is facing serious charges. He's accused of murdering his brother, sister-in-law, and their two children. The story behind this shocking event involves money problems and a hidden romance. Caneiro, a 59-year-old man, was living a lavish lifestyle. He owned three Porsches and traveled to places like Colombia, Las Vegas, and New York with his secret partner, Yisel Restrepo. He even bought her a luxury Audi. However, he claimed to be financially struggling. Prosecutors believe Caneiro killed his brother Keith after Keith discovered that Paul had stolen $78, 000. The brothers shared two struggling businesses, and Paul was spending beyond his means. Instead of confessing, prosecutors allege that Paul chose a deadly path.
The motive? Money. If Keith and his family died, Paul and his other brother, Corey, would receive Keith's $3 million life insurance policy. Hours after a confrontation about the stolen money, prosecutors say Paul carried out the murders. On the night of the murders, Paul went to Keith's mansion, cut the power, and ambushed his brother when he went to investigate. He shot Keith multiple times in the head. Then, he entered the house and killed the rest of the family. To hide his crimes, he set a slow-burning fire at the mansion and even started a fire at his own home to create a false alibi. A neighbor, Boris Volshteyn, discovered Keith's body outside the burning home. He immediately called 911, shouting, \"Oh my God. There is blood here. It's a corpse. Somebody is dead here. \" Paul Caneiro has pleaded not guilty and has been in jail since his arrest. The trial is ongoing, and the truth behind this tragic event is still unfolding.
