Other Murders in Amityville: Worse than Ron DeFeo & George Lutz Horror Experience

Amityville Woman Kills Kids in Scalding Water: Claims Demon Possession - Named Melvin and Delvin

Amityville MurderPicture only represents a victims, not actual victim.

Amityville Mother Commits Acts Similar to Ron DeFeo and the Way Lutz was Portrayed in the Movie.

There were other wild murders in Amityville than just the DeFeo killings. There was a woman who began to act wacko, started talking about demons, then stuck her children in boiling water and strangled them. Sounds familiar? The Amityville area has a history of murder and bizarre behavior where people claim contact with demons. There are those that claim the killing of Melvin and Delvin is an urban legend are quite erroneous. Listed are several sources proving that this occurred in Amityville, just a short walk from the Amityville Cemetery.
 

SOURCES:
From the December 1998 issue of Fortean Times: "Amityville Horror Encore?":
Debra Robertson, a 31-year-old crackhead from the village of Amityville in Long Island, was found by police making the sign of the cross over the bodies of her six-year-old daughter Delvin King and five-year-old son Melvin King, who lay dead on a couch. Her infant son slept unharmed in a bedroom. Robertson had
scalded the children by immersing them in boiling water. They could have been asphyxiated or drowned, but the cause of death was to be determined by autopsy. She said she had snapped because the apartment was possessed by demons.
The horror in the white-frame house at 505 Broadway bore eerie echoes of the 1974 slaughter, less than a mile away, of an Amityville family by a 23-year-old son who claimed phantoms ordered him to kill them. The murders became grist for a fictionalised bestseller called The Amityville Horror--A True Story, which was later turned into a film.

From www.mayhem.net/Crime/morg9806.html
June 25, 1998 - Debra Robertson - An Amityville, N.Y., mother was accused of killing two of her young children by immersing them in scalding hot water. The tots, Melvin King, 6, and his five-year-old sister Delvin, were found dead on a couch in a room by police after their grandmother called authorities. The grandmother called the police because her daughter, Debra
Roberson, telephoned her screaming "God save my children." Debra, 31, was arrested in the apartment when police arrived.

Merlin (MER-lin) (Welsh) "Sea fortress." Mythology: Arthurian tales describe Merlin as the wizard who was King Arthur's mentor. Myrddin, the wizard who tutored King Arthur in British legend was known as Myrddin Emrys. Writers translated this into Latin as Merlin Ambrosius, and into English as Mervyn. It was a mistake as the first part of the name was a Welsh place name for the seacoast town of Carmarthen. Emrys was the personal name and a Welsh version of Ambrose. So Merlin probably means "Ambrose of Carmarthen", and is only vaguely related to Mervyn and its variants. Football player Merlin Olsen. [Marlin, Marlon, Merle, Merlen, Merlinn, Merlyn, Merlynn]


Delvin (DEL-vin) (Old English, Irish) "Godly friend; proud friend; bright friend."
