The other day I was watching a show about these young woman who had killed and the high profile cases involving them. One of the families (the mother, father, daughter) were killed (and the son was injured) were Jehovah's Witnesses *The same religion as I am*. It was an extremely sad case. The father's name was Vidar which I really love the name. The name might seem different to English speakers but I am sure it is common to other cultures that use this name. I think the guy was from Sweden so this is probably common there, but not entirely sure about that.
