Vince stated how his dad was obviously furious that Christopher had actually scolded him for bullying his more youthful child, Russell.
‘Dad would spend a lot of time getting drunk, he would sulk, then he would turn into this Jekyll and Hyde type character, alcohol would activate this a***hole in him,’ he discussed.
‘He begins chewing out my bro Russ, over and over, “make me some f***ing rice Russ”, he was attempting to keep him delighted however there’s no pleasing him when he resembles that.
‘He asks Russ to get the anchor up and after that begins pounding him for no factor, Chris and Peta state “stop enough! Leave him alone”.
‘Dad states “don’t you f***ing tell me how to raise my kids”, he takes a swing and Chris ducked out of the method and papa fell overboard.
‘Dad’ s in the water simply glaring in silence taking a look at Chris and Peta and I believe Chris stated something like “maybe that will cool you off”.’

‘It’ s ok for him to embarrass us kids, however not for him to be embarrassed,’ he continued. ‘He stated to us, “we need to get rid of these people”.’

‘Chris is shrieking “what’s your game, what’s your game!” Dad simply keeps beating him up until Chris falls onto the deck, he struck him so hard he broke his skull, I might hear the bones splitting and ultimately he broke the billy club.
‘I was thinking what can I do, can I intervene but I am just a skinny kid, then he pulls out a knife and stabs him in the chest.’
Vince declared that when Peta kept an eye out from the galley to see what all the turmoil was, Duane threatened to shoot her with a spear weapon.
He included: ‘He grabs a rope and ties Chris up, the he goes down in the galley with Peta and the top hatch is covered, he is down there awhile, over and hour, when he is finished he comes back up.’
Duane then asked Vince to decrease to the galley to ‘keep and eye on Peta’– where he discovered her bound and naked.
Vince stated: ‘She was tied up, no clothes on, he had taken her clothes off, she was seething mad, she must of had fear but she wasn’ t revealing it. She informed me you’re going to burn in hell.
‘My mind was racing, maybe she is right, I don’ t wish to belong of this however I have no option, where are my options, to subdue my papa? I would not be sitting here now if I attempted that.’
The next early morning the couple were both still bound. Duane informed the set that he is going to ‘let them off, tie them to a tree and then sail away’.
‘So that’ s what I believed would take place,’ Vince stated. ‘Dad goes below deck, grabs a large gear which was used for balance, it’ s like a huge cog constructed of iron, he relieves it down behind Chris and he does the exact same with Peta.
‘He takes the weight and throws it over, I am thinking this can’ t be taking place, my knees are shaking, he takes Chris and rolls him off, I see him being tugged down rapidly and vanishing into blackness.
‘Peta is shrieking “what’s going on? Chris are you OK?” Dad takes her weight, tosses that over and rolls her off the side, then she vanished into the depths. He took a look at his watch a couple of minutes later on and stated “they are dead now”.
‘To watch your own father, someone you trust, who is supposed to be protecting you, murder two innocent people in front of your own eyes, I’ m believing possibly we are next and he took a look at us and stated “you snitch, you die”.’
