Nothing can be more confusing than a man claiming that he killed his sister-in-law and her fiancee because of his religious beliefs. In particular, the principles laid out by the Church of Scientology. But right now, that seems to be the only defense that is keeping him hanging on by a thread. About seven years ago, Kenneth Wayne Thompson went out of his house, told his wife and kids that he would go take care of his recently deceased parents' estate in Memphis, and instead, drove all the way to Prescott Valley, Arizona to murder his wife's sister and her fiancee. And his reason: because his nephew was undergoing psychiatric treatment, to which the Church of Scientology, as Thompson's lawyers claim, is opposed.
