Henry Van Breda was in the bedroom of his family home during the early hours of January 27,

2015, when he heard a noise coming from the nearby bedroom he shared with his brother Rudy.

Curious as to who else was awake at the time, he peered out of the doorway into the bedroom and was shocked to see a well-built black male,

shrouded by darkness and wearing both

gloves and a balaclava, striking his sleeping sibling with an axe. Panic began to set in for the

young man, and that was why he immediately shouted for his father, Martin, who woke up and quickly

came running to help his son. Unfortunately, Martin Van Breda would not be able to

stop the mysterious figure who was attacking Rudy. The intruder would end up overpowering the father

and fatally striking him in the head with the same axe as before. As that was happening,

Henry remained frozen in place in the bathroom, unable to move out of terror over what he was seeing.

And that was where he remained as the intruder proceeded to finish off not only Rudy, but also killed Teresa and Marley, the mother and daughter of the household.

In fact, Henry didn't build up the courage to get involved at all until the man then attacked

him.

Thankfully, though, he was able to fight the masked figure off, even if he did get injured in the

process.

He was then able to chase him away all before calling his girlfriend at around 4.42 a.m.

to tell her that something terrible had occurred and that he needed help.

At least that was the story Henry would initially tell authorities when they later showed up at

the scene. In truth, though, as it would eventually be revealed, no such mystery figure had existed.

No, this had all instead been a poorly thought-out way to cover up the fact that he was the one

who had attacked all four members of his family with an axe in one of the most brutal

crimes imaginable. This is Monsters.
