What Do You Suppose REALLY HAPPENED HERE?

I'm sure we can agree they look quite gutterbutt-bottom feeder but what the hell is going on here?

SMH: These Trifling Texas Brothers Truly Ain’t Sh*t…

Posted: 13 Apr 2011 04:49 AM PDT

Edwin and Edward Berndt

Texas twins were charged with murder on Tuesday after they let their mother die on the floor after a fall and lived with her corpse for three months, authorities say.

Edwin Berndt and Edward Berndt, both 48, were arrested Monday after cops found the body of their mother, Sybil Berndt, still on the floor of their Houston home, covered in bugs.

Officers said they visited the home after a neighbor reported the woman hadn’t been seen for months.

Edwin Berndt initially refused to let anyone in, but relented when cops demanded to talk to his mom.

Cops said the home was in “deplorable condition and smelled terribly.” The woman’s body was found facedown, without underwear and a grubby nightgown pulled up under her arms.

The brothers told cops their mother had died after a fall and they decided to leave her there because they couldn’t afford a burial or ambulance.

They claimed they were watching the NCAA college football championship game Jan. 10 when their mother “came in ranting and raving” and slipped fell on the floor.

She was conscious and talking for the three days before she died Jan. 13, the day after her 89th birthday, her sons told cops.

They admitted they didn’t give her food or water before she died, police said.

During a search of the home, investigators found bank statements for accounts that totaled about $700,000.

Something about the home being in a deplorable condition and that mom laying face down with her panties missing and her gown pulled up does not sit well with me at all!!!! mad Depriving her of food and water is quite revolting as well.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
RIP Dick Clark, Whitney Houston, Don Cornelius, Heavy D, and Donna Summer. rose

I understand some people can go into shock after the death of a loved one, maybe enter denial that the person is truly dead but this mess right here is just faint

What a awful way to treat your own mother. Sickening! No need to sense foul play, the foul play is quite evident. The fact they couldn't get off their asses from a damn game speaks volumes. And you don't find an ambulance, you CALL 911! The ambulance finds YOU. And where's the rest of the family? I'm pretty sure a funeral could have been arranged. But to leave her there to decompose, to be covered in bugs...that's SICK. To deprive her of food and water is WORSE. I hope she haunts them for the rest of their natural lives.

I would like to think that after she died... her body expelled the bowels and they had to remove the underwear and lift up the dress in order to clean up the fecal matter and body liquids...blood, seepage....

eww....

I read this yesterday and I couldn't formulate a thought afterwards. I still can't. I don't get it. Like, its beyond me. I can only assume that there must be some sort of mental illness involved. The brothers have claimed repeatedly that they didn't have the money to pay for a doctor or funeral, but investigators easily found statements saying their mother had hundreds of thousands of dollars. They left a dead body in their house for months - didn't even take it out back and bury it. And they don't look the high end of the hygene scale themselves. Plus, they were already living at home (for quite some time, evidently), so you'd think (or, I guessing) that the mother had it set up so they would get the house and money. So... yeah... I don't get it. Just... its beyond me.

She would of decomposed anyways...not that I'm sticking up for them or anything. Maybe she wasn't wearing underwear in the first place and her gown rose up during the fall.

I'm just trying to avoid thinking that they had sex with their dead 89 year old mother

Oh no MENTAL IMAGES!!! shake

sad I'm trying to avoid that, too...but I've been around my detective cousin for too long. That just sounds fishy to me. True, she would have decomposed anyway, but....jeez...the fact that they let her sit there is what bothers me so much. I have a grandmother around that age who's been just like a mother to me since my own died. It gets to me HARD that people with mothers would treat their own like this.

She was probably raving and ranting at them for a good reason. They look like two no good bums...

Mom comes in the room, yelling at her no good sons for something, slips and falls...

sons laugh and ignore her

she threatens them if they don't help her

they call her bluff laugh and mock her and just leave her there... sufferring and crying and moaning

the sons in their evil way just ignore her, they may have possibly left the house for a day or two ...

she finally dies, releases her bowels.... they clean that up but don't want to get rid of her because she may be too heavy... messy... or whatever...

so they just leave her there....

how one eats, bathes, sleeps and performs in normal daily life without going mad at the sight and smells of YOUR DECOMPOSING MOTHER lying in the midddle of the floor of the stairs is beyond my understnding.

her sons were not sick... they are just pure evil.

That's actually quite plausible. There are 3 instances I can think of when one might spontaneously shit (death, fear, traumatic bodily injury). I'd like to think this is what happened...then again....look at them mofos!!! I can't imagine them cleaning ANYTHING!
