A current case I know about where greed for money was the motive is the case where a brother who was in partnership with his other brother.
Sorry the defendant's last name escapes me at the moment. Paul something and his brother was named Keith iirc. There is a forum here on that case.
The murderer was going to be cut out of the businesses they had worked together on due to his lack of integrity, and lack of positive input including excessive spending beyond his means. Sound familiar?
Coincidently, that suspect also murdered four. His brother, the brother's wife, and he slit the throats of their two young children then set their home on fire.
These are victims he had known all of his life, and supposedly possibly loved at some point.
So even with an emotional attachment, he didnt blink an eye in brutally murdering all four.
CM didnt have any emotional attachment or bond with Summer or the two children. Imo, he detested them. So he murdered them without one regret or one bit of remorse. Imo. They were simply obstacles to him standing in his way.
Of course it seems the other suspect doesn't have any remorse either for murdering his own brother, and his entire family. Imo
It really does show how evil greed truly can be. Unfortunately many murderers have had the very same motive when murdering their victims.
That is why murdering anyone for financial gain, no matter how large or small the financial gain, it is a legal prong for the cases to be death penalty qualified cases.
Another case I've mentioned before was about a best friend, and he also had done business deals with the victim.
He went to the victim wanting a 250k loan to pay off his gambling debts. His long time friend refused knowing he would just create more gambling debt. When he refused his friend murdered him, and stole part of the man's coin collection, then sold them, and spent it at the casino tables.
There are a multitude of cases with this same motive though.
