It was 12-year-old Jasmine Richardson who had enlisted the help of her “boyfriend,” 23-year-old Jeremy Steinke, to kill her family. We’re back with another daughter who killed her family in this week’s episode on the youngest Canadian to have ever been convicted of multiple counts of first-degree murder who is now walking free.
