QuoteDeadly 'machete' attack on family in Kulcs Hungary

Hungarian police have captured a young man suspected of killing four members of his family with a machete in a village south of Budapest.

They seized the man, in his mid-20s, shortly after the attack in Kulcs, 60km (37 miles) south of the capital, in which three people were also wounded.

He allegedly killed his father, brother and grandparents following a row.

His mother, sister and another person were reportedly badly injured and are now being treated in hospital.

Anti-terror police, a rescue helicopter and three ambulances were dispatched to the village in Fejer county.

The man detained was named by police as Jutast Csanad Horvath. His age was given as either 23 or 24.

"There were several wounds on the bodies of the victims caused by a thrusting and cutting tool," police spokesman Laszlo Garamvolgyi was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.

"The man probably used a large machete in the attack."

Initial reports spoke of a "sword" attack.

Reports that the attacker had seized hostages were denied by police, according to Hungarian news website Delmagyar.

No idea, but the family name doesn't match anyways. :P

This is what happens when you let a chicken name your town.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Machete's really aren't swords.  They are like long cleavers.  You use them to cut sugar cane.

Machetes are a lot like falchions, which I think are classified as swords.
