Filicide is the deliberate act of a parent killing their own child. On average, according to FBI statistics, 450 children are murdered by their parents each year in the United States.

TW - child m*urder.

Despite having a seemingly perfect life on the surface, Paula Truong and her husband Thomas Ocheltree were having financial issues in 2025. Their businesses had been forced to close and their multi-million dollar house had been foreclosed on. In October 2025, Thomas’ brother became concerned when he could not get in touch with the family. He went to the home and found Paula, Thomas and their two young daughters deceased. Autopsy results are pending but media reports indicate that Paula was the perpetrator in this case.

Texas woman Oninda Romelus once appeared on the reality show ‘Paternity Court’ in an effort to determine who the father of her oldest son was. In October 2025, Oninda allegedly shot her four children and drove them to a gas station where she called 911. Two of the children passed and two survived. Oninda told authorities later that she had not called 911, that she had called the devil.

Anaesthetist Dr Tiffany Wilkes and her daughter Clementine (8) lived in Queensland, Australia. Tiffany’s mother passed away in recent years and Tiffany was said to be struggling with her mental health. In September 2025, Tiffany and Clementine checked into an Airbnb that cost $1,000 per night, and they never checked out. Tiffany sent a pre-scheduled email to a colleague that prompted a welfare check. When authorities went to the home, they found the bodies of the mother and daughter. Causes of death for the pair have not been released, but police have determined this was likely a murder-suicide.
