Me too. This case is on a par with the OP case IMO and that was very closely followed on here.

For me personally I had heard a lot about OP because of the Olympics and I think OP was pretty well known because of that before he committed his murder.
On the other hand with this case I really have not heard of this family. I live in the US and just have not ever heard about that family name before now.
It sounds like they are well off and maybe they are known more by others and especially in their country but here in the US I have to wonder if lots of people are like myself and just do not know about them.
So even though the murder is horrific axe murder I think maybe the reason it is not as well followed here is because maybe not many had ever heard of that family before. The US has so many gruesome murders of our own that it takes something special even here for a US case to become national news.
Sometimes things blow up and sometimes they dont and sometimes we dont even know why certain cases seem to take off here.
The recent murders of the girls on the bridge took off because of the unique bridge and the fact they were two young girls just hiking the bridge. The bridge had a lot to do with why that case took off here because the bridge was so unique.
There probably is some unknown reasons and maybe just by chance too why certain cases just get more popular than others.
Thanks to those that are following this case. It is an interesting case and I have to read back on it as it sounds horrific. Using an axe as a weapon is awful.
The case reminds me of the Lizzie Borden axe murders from years ago.

. This is going to be a very nail biting type of trial, I'm trying to stay calm as the tension is slowly building, I think this is why HvB is looking very drawn since yesterday, he knows what's to come.
