Horrorcore Singer Richard Samuel McCroskey III Suspected in Murders

A Horrorcore Rapper is in Police Custody on Suspicion of the Murder of Four People in Virginia

Horrorcore rapper Richard Samuel McCroskey III was arrested in Virginia. Richard Samuel McCroskey III is being tied to the death of four people found in on September 18th. It's a grizzly case, and the Horrorcore singer made a living singing about chopping up people. This case is going to drive millions of people to explore what "Horrorcore" is, and learn quickly that it is a sub genre of hip hop that deal with singing or rapping about horror themes. These themes can be very violent, and include violence in its worst sense. Those some lyrics could be used to describe this case, as even authorities couldn't bring themselves to describe exactly what happened to the victims. Hopefully authorities have the right person and can get to the bottom of this case extremely quick.

Those people who are not fans of this music genre won't really understand the allure that some people have found within it. I am one of those music fans who don't really understand the draw to Horrorcore, and it certainly isn't something that I would want to hear coming out of my children's rooms. I guess it's the same taste that keeps people interested in the Hostel films, and will keep going back to theaters to watch the next chapter of the Saw series. Undoubtedly the crimes in question are going to make it into the lyrics of someone's song within the genre, but it doesn't mean that it's going to really become a mainstream musical choice anytime soon.

The cast in question involved four people who were murdered in the middle of September in an extremely sad case that just seems to be getting worse with each detail that is released. The victims were described as being a beloved pastor, his estranged wife who was a professor at Longwood, his 16-year-old daughter, and her daughter's friend from West Virginia. The victims were described to have been killed by blunt force trauma, but the police on scene described it as being "horrifying". It's scary to even think about a crime such as this, and it has to take a really sick individual to commit something as vicious as these crimes.

It seems like authorities have the right person in this case, as McCroskey has already stated that "Jesus told me to do it." The sad part for the friends and family of the victims, is that McCroskey will probably end up pleading "insanity" and end up getting placed in a treatment facility rather than actually going to prison. More details are sure to be revealed very soon about what exactly took place in this case, but some of those details may be better left unknown due to the rumors of extreme violence that was undertaken. Due to the alleged actions of McCroskey, this small Virginia town may never be the same again.

    well first off it isn't americans ...it's individuals and the other thing is I hope he rots in jail for what he has done he deserves it !!! our criminal justice team needs to crack down harder on people like him and to be rather honest they shouldn't have music like that legally regardless of the race it just sends bad signals to children and adolecents who grow up hearing it ....

    these are NOT rappers nor are they associated with hip hop. Just another example of white people stealing something black people came up with and then twisting it into something awful and then of course who gets blamed..."rappers". You americans are unbelievable...you create these people...why so shocked they exist?
