Not sure how to go about killing your wealthy relative to get the inheritance money? Why not do as this insightful family did and utilize Google as a murder resource.

A grandchild is the apple of a grandfather's eye and a grandparent's fortunes are the apple of a grandchild's eye. An 89-year-old British man was nearly killed by his family in their greedy attempts to acquire inheritance money. The loving family did their detailed research to assassinate their patriarch by Googling, "the easiest way to kill an old person."

Based on their research the family initially wanted to snuff their grandpa by feeding him poisonous mushrooms, but they decided to give him a heart attack by frightening him to death. Late one night they threw bricks at his window, but the old man's ticker kept on ticking. For their next attempted massacre they cut the fuel line on his car in hopes that it would explode, but this plan was also unsuccessful. This is quickly turning into Wile E. Coyote versus the Road Runner.

Give the family credit because they didn't give up, they went back to the drawing board for a new murder plan. The devious masterminds Google searched topics such as, "10 easy ways to kill someone with no trace", "dangerous drugs for the elderly" and "if you hit someone across the back of the head with a brick will they die or just get a bruise?". This is exactly when you want to at least delete your search history, if not incinerate your hard drive. However despite all their highfalutin death schemes, in the end, they went with the low-brow plan of simple blunt trauma to the head. They went over to grandpa's house and mercilessly smashed him in the head with plastic bags full of bricks. Despite suffering awful head injuries, the elderly codger didn't die.

Finally the treacherous family were caught and arrested. The elderly victim's adopted daughter, his 16-year-old granddaughter and 19-year-old grandson have been convicted of conspiracy to murder in an English court. The grandson's girlfriend, 17, was also found guilty of conspiracy and a 14-year-old granddaughter was convicted of wounding with intent. The victim's daughter was sentenced to 17-years in prison for her part in the plot. The other teenage offenders were given varying sentences in youth detention centers. I guess the family that tries to kill their grandfather together stays together in prison.

How impatient are you that you can't wait seven months til the old curmudgeon croaks. If you absolutely can't wait a year for your gandpaps to die than do as everyone else does, add a little antifreeze to his oatmeal every morning and he'll be six feet under in no time.
