A 29-year-old man in the US was taken into custody for killing his parents and brother after stealing a large amount of money from home. According to a Seminole County arrest warrant, he spent USD 200,000 on a woman he met on an adult camera website that led to issues at home. The registered nurse is said to have been maintaining a pornographic relationship with the woman from Bulgaria on whom he spent a lot of his family's money.

Grant Amato has been accused of stealing large sums of money from home and thereafter murdering his family. His 59-year-old mother Chad Amato, 61-year-old father Margaret Amato and 31-year-old brother, Cody Amato were found dead at their home in Chuluota. Suspicion rose after Cody's co-worker at AdventHealth Orlando reported that he had not come to work. Mumbai: Virar Murder Mystery Unfolds, Man Charged of Chopping Friend Into Pieces Over Financial Tiff.
