Since news of the house of horrors<\/a> kept by David and Louise Turpin broke earlier this month, more and more information about the couple has come to light. There is no excuse or reason that could ever justify the devastating abuses they inflicted on their 14 children. But a new interview with Louise’s brother<\/a> may shed some light on their twisted motivations.<\/p>\n

According to Billy Lambert, brother of Louise Turpin, she and husband David had plans for more children.<\/h2>\n

Billy told The Mirror that he last spoke to his sister on January 10, just days before their arrest. On January 14, the couple’s 17-year old daughter managed to escape the house, and call 911. When authorities arrived, they found 12 more children. Some of the children were chained and padlocked to their beds. All of the kids, ranging in age from 2 to 29, showed serious signs of starvation, neglect, and abuse. In fact, authorities were shocked to learn that 7 of the kids were over the age of 18; they were so emaciated that they appeared to be no older than 10.<\/p>\n
