Episode 28 - The Benoit Family Part Two
Manage episode 416121452 series 3477159
In June 2007 Canadian professional wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife and son and then took his own life. With allegations of domestic abuse in their marriage it could be that Chris finally killed his wife and son after years of abuse. However, some speculate that they many blows to his head he took during his wrestling career led to brain damage and could have caused Benoit to kill his wife and child. One thing is clear – the only person responsible for the murders of Nancy and Daniel Benoit is their husband and father Chris Benoit.
