A Murder in Brno

In a suburb of Brno, a 20-year-old guy from California snapped and killed a family of four; he was related to them, and had been staying with them for a couple weeks. The father and one of the sons played in the "Ukulele Orchestra Jako Brno," a local band. He didn't have a gun, though police reports indicate that he was "armed," and details aren't clear how he killed them. Witnesses reported a fire in the house they were living in, and in the course of putting out the fire discovered the bodies. 

Apparently he escaped to Vienna and took a flight to DC, but the cops there were waiting for him. 

The mayor of Ivanovice, in which the murders took place aptly described the murders as a "tragedy." The family was by all accounts a normal, pleasant family, and were well-known in their community, playing in the band and riding choppers. 

The Czech Ministry of Justice has already began calling for extradition arrangements for the alleged murderer, Kevin Dahlgren, to be tried for the murders. 

This is part of the blog post I'm supposed to add some sort of insightful commentary, or analysis, or something like that. But I can't really figure any of it out. Why does a guy come halfway around the world to meet up with his distant cousins and then just kill them, and do it in a way that would almost certainly get him caught immediately? He spoke no Czech, there's no indications what he was doing here (some rumors surfaced that he was here to be an English teacher), and he killed the people who were hosting him. And it's frustrating to sit and try to come up with whys when sometimes, there just aren't any.
