Two cases in the UK as brutal if not more so.
David Morris denies the "massacre" of Mandy Power and her family
The jury in the Clydach murder retrial has been told it must consider the possibility that one of the girls tried to save their mother from the attacker.
Mandy Power, daughters Katie and Emily and their grandmother Doris Dawson were beaten to death in June 1999.
Continuing his summing up, the judge said "words could not convey" the severity of their injuries.
David Morris, 44, from Craig-cefn-Parc, denies the murders at the retrial at Newport Crown Court which began in May.
Summing up on Friday to an almost silent courtroom, the judge, Mr Justice McKinnon, catalogued the horrific injuries to the victims to the jury.
"Words cannot convey the severity of the injuries inflicted upon them," he said.
Fibreglass pole
Ms Power, 34, her two daughters Katie, 10, and Emily, eight, had been battered repeatedly with a fibreglass pole -- their skulls had effectively been smashed, said the judge.
"The pole is 4ft, weighs around 1kg, made of fibreglass, with plastic-like coating," he said.

Hotel plunge man charged with murder
A BRITISH man who fell from a hotel balcony in Greece with his two children has been charged with murder after his six-year-old son died in the incident, the Foreign Office confirmed.
The man, whose two-year-old daughter survived the fall, has also been charged with attempted murder.
The young girl is in hospital in a stable condition following the fall on the island of Crete, hospital officials said.
