Yeah, it was most definitely a monstrous and personal crime all the way around.
Killing kids is bottom of the barrel, no matter how it's done, of course.
But, for a perpetrator to beat to death small children he's known all their lives with a sledgehammer was especially barbaric and unnecessary. A lot of killers wouldn't have the stomach for it and would have elected to kill/silence the boys in a less brutal fashion. Chase Merritt is the worst of the worst.
