Dearborn Heights Family Annihilator Pleads Guilty

DEARBORN HEIGHTS, MI — Family annihilator Gregory Vincent Green pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges that he killed his two children and two stepchildren and tortured his wife in the family’s Dearborn Heights home late last summer, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said. Green, 50, made his plea in 20th District Court after he was found competent to stand trial.

In the plea before Judge David D. Turfe, Green admitted to killing the children — Chadney Allen, 19; Kara Allen, 17; Koi Green, 5, and Kaleigh Green, 4 — and to torturing their mother Faith Green.

The older children were shot multiple times in front of their mother, and Green killed his and Faith Green’s young daughters by carbon monoxide poisoning, according to police reports. Green shot his wife in the foot and slashed he foot in the horrific rampage in the family’s home in the family’s Dearborn Heights home on the 4400 block of Hipp, police said.

Green pleaded guilty to four counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of the children; one count each of torture and assault with intent to do great bodily harm in the attack on his wife Faith Green; and one count of felony firearm. His sentencing is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Wednesday, March 1, in the Wayne County 3rd Circuit Court Criminal Division. A judge has not yet been assigned.
