Teen Used Axe To Kill Ex’s Mom And New Boyfriend Before Killing Self

April 5, 2012 at 9:53 am by Morbid

LIVONIA, Mich. – Police say a teen was upset over his recent breakup with his girlfriend when he broke into her home and used an axe to kill her mother and her new boyfriend before killing himself.

On Wednesday, 19-year-old Brian Douglas White entered the home of his ex-girlfriend, 17-year-old Desiree Staperfene, and used an axe to kill her mother, 46-year-old Angela Kim Staperfene, as well as Desiree’s new boyfriend, 19-year-old Jacob Lee Burns. Both would die from multiple axe wounds to the head.

Reportedly, Desiree was forced to watch as her mother and boyfriend were murdered. She was injured during the attack, but the Stevenson High School senior was able to flee the home and call 911. When police arrived on the scene, they found White dead after having blown his brains out.

Desiree was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released from the hospital. Friends say White recently confronted Desiree at school and say his controlling nature is the reason she recently broke up with him.

Thank goodness they’re not releasing the identity of the Angela Kim Staperfene’s daughter, who lives in Livonia, Michigan, and is a Stevenson High School senior…

Seriously?

How do you go on to live a normal life after witnessing this? My heart goes out to this girl.

Axe – getting ever so close to a crowbar, aren’t we?

By living comfortably off the proceeds of selling your story to some shitty TV studio/network?
Sam

IKR? And probably feeling forever guilty for thinking that she abandoned her mum and boyfriend to be killed. Poor girl.

What a horrible way to die.Another control freak psycho boyfriend story.That poor girl and her family.Geez! no wonder she no longer wanted to date this nut job.
newstarshipsmell

Maybe she has a twin sister?

Journalistic integrity at its finest….

Motherfucking idiot! Now she’s REALLY not gonna take you back! And it’s not even because you’re dead.

I betcha this asshole hit her when they were together and her mom didn’t like him.

I hope he’s sucking Satan dick & getting fucked with his evil trident.

Maybe the twin sister was the REAL murderer…

But then at the last minute is revealed to be a split personality…

When the alleged perpetrator asked the girl why she broke up with him, she reportedly responded, “Dont’ axe me.”

He could have just used Axe the body cologne instead of the ax of the metal type. It would have been much swifter and have left behind less of a mess. Have you smelled that shit? It’s like GHB for teens. Seriously, though, this guy is an effing nutjob. I feel badly for the family left behind to deal with his choices.

Live comfortably maybe, but ohhh the nightmares.

Story updated with name of ex-girlfriend and link to modeling pic. Also, some reports say she was forced to watch her mom and boyfriend die.
newstarshipsmell

Well, that’s what the drugs are for, after all.
DangerousKindOfSnark

I would rather live in a box than see myself as a lifetime character.
DangerousKindOfSnark

So damn tragic. She finally got rid of this fucking albatross and had her life in-front of her. Girls, let this be a warning, don’t let crazy stick it’s dick in you.
newstarshipsmell

Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt that she held out on him.
OutOfBubbleGum

Brian Douglas White hated being held back. When his English teacher wrote “Tomorrow’s Assignment: ‘How I spent my summer,” Brian’s only thought ‘MUST USE AX!!!!”
JohnQknowitall

If I can’t love you then nobody can. I see the logic.
Andy P

Guess he had an axe to grind?

Wait…her mom had a 19 year old boyfriend??
Deety

Sometimes I wish it were possible to half-like a comment… :-/

But thanks for the pic.
Deety

To be fair, you don’t have to go that far with crazy for it to get stuck on you. You really can’t even give crazy the time of day, that’s why we must always be alert to it’s presence.
Deety

Oh noes… >.<

I just realized… You know how we say crazy pussy is the best pussy? What if it's true of dick, too!? I just looked back and realized the craziest dick I ever let in me was also the best… Until the current one. Does that mean this one is destined to turn out to be crazy!?

Oh well, at least I'm gettin' some in the meantime.

NO.. the girl’s NEW boyfriend was killed.

Maybe the split personality was in the BOYFRIEND and he BELIEVED he was her Twin Sister half…the…time. No. Wait, that’s stupid, isn’t it?

“I did find him sharp and striking at one time.”
Lena60

Your soooo bad pete.
DangerousKindOfSnark

Both my mans are sane and I’m not complaining, so there’s hope for you yet!
newstarshipsmell

Incredibly so, but I’ll take the blame for it what with the twin sister comment.
Lena60

lol Charlie , I had to read that again as well.The way it is written makes it sound like her mom had the 19 year old bf.
Cory

Honestly, I think that was his plan for her to live on in pain and misery without her mother and (stepbrother/moms boyfriend) lol but seriously that’s pretty sad for someone to live a long time and some bastard kid comes in and ends it all for you.

You have both been watching too many soaps……

Thank you!
Abroad

Tell us how you really feel, Girl…… *edges away slowly*
Cory

Isn’t that cute you think there’s a Satan lol
DangerousKindOfSnark

If there isn’t a Satan who the hell did I screw after dancing naked in woods last week?!
Texas Ranger

Ummm. you aren’t supposed to be able to remember that……
Texas Ranger

She’s cute…not a murder folks quality chick…but cute. She’s more of a ignore the “Merge Left sign” kind of chick.

In all seriousness: What a freakin nightmare. How do you trust another living soul enough to have any kind of relationship now?

CK One for men. THAT SHIT MAKES ME FLY, FOLLOWING THE AROMA TOWARDS THE MALE OR FEMALE WEARING IT. Then I proceed to try to get them to fuck me.

the guy wasn’t her stepbrother or her mom’s boyfriend, he was her *NEW* boyfriend…they just worded it strangely
xJustagirlx

“and used an axe to kill her mother, 46-year-old Angela Kim Staperfene, as well as Desiree’s new boyfriend, 19-year-old Jacob Lee Burns.”

Sounds pretty cut & dry to me.
xJustagirlx

The remnants of axe doesn’t bother me so much, but if you spray it in the same house as me, I will knife you. UGH!!
curethispain

I’ve now decided that my 3 daughters are not allowed to date until they are 30-years old.

Im sucha shit person, We’ve been looking for homes lately and after reading the article the first thing I thought was” ohhhh, I betcha that ones going cheap,I like the porch!”
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_GQ5TVZC72YYAVTSPOEVS2CK4II DeadBabyDude

Kinda sleazy headline though.Japanese officers with years of training have killled themselves with a sword before but for a no-talent teenager to commit sidewise with an Axe?Misleading as it was ,could suicide by axe be done?

That’s common in NYC & crowded towns .Read the Obits & haul ass before it’s rented..Do what it takes in life.

Castille

Oh honey, this was tragedy enough to be on the news…. Everywhere. And all the most important parts were clearly most horrifyingly real. Don’t read newsy/gossip sites about it. Just don’t.
