Nicole Darrah, with Fox News, reported that Mary-Beth Tomaselli, 63, and Linda Roberts, 62, were charged with murder in the death of their father, Anthony Tomaselli, after telling a friend how they killed their father.

Murder is sadly a common occurrance, what makes this murder different is that the sisters claimed it was "euthanasia." According to Fox News.

The women said "they had killed their father, and had, quote, 'euthanized' him because he had been ill" and refused to go to an assisted living facility, according to the sheriff. He added, "They knew he would die sometime in the next couple of months, so they decided to euthanize him."

The women killed their father for money. Fox reported:

Once their father was dead, the daughters sold the home and split a $120,000 profit with their brother, who the sheriff's office said wasn't involved in the father's murder.

Terminally ill people are vulnerable to friends and family members who are willing to kill for personal gain and then claim that it was a "compassionate homicide."
