Grandmother Beverley Ann Quinn, 73, was murdered when she visited the next morning, the WA Supreme Court heard on Friday. Harvey had written in a journal about embracing his "darkness and animal instincts" and "eliminating" his family, a sentencing hearing in the WA Supreme Court heard last month. The court heard Ms Quinn and Ms Harvey were struck on the head with a pipe and repeatedly stabbed with a newly purchased large knife. Harvey said he had not been angry with his family and described his marriage as good. The court also heard about Harvey's mental health and a suggestion he had symptoms consistent with high-functioning autism.
