Killer dad Chris Watts twisted prison letters claim hes a new man forgiven by God for murdering pregnant wife, daughters

Killer dad Chris Watts has claimed in twisted prison letters that he is “a new man” and has been “forgiven” by God as he rots in prison for the horrific murders of his pregnant wife and their two young daughters.The deranged murderer, 40, insisted he is now a “new creature” in recent handwritten letters to a female pen pal while he’s serving a life sentence at the Dodge Correctional Institution in Wisconsin, the Daily Mail reported.“I have always taken full responsibility for what I did, even though I was misled by a wicked woman,” he wrote to the pen pal — blaming his mistress for him murdering his family.“I know that God does not see me as a sinner who killed his family; he sees me as His child.I have confessed my sins.

I am forgiven.The hardest thing I have had to do was to forgive myself,” he wrote.

Watts admitted to strangling his 34-year-old wife, Shanann, who was 15 weeks pregnant at the time, in their home in Frederick, Colorado on August 13, 2018.He then suffocated their daughters — Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3 — before dumping the bodies in oil drums.After years locked up, Watts — who investigators say carried out the sick slayings so he could be with his mistress — declared in the letters: “I am a new man.”“I am not the person who committed those horrible acts.2 Corinthians 5:17 says ‘if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.’ That’s me.

I’m a new creature,” he wrote.“God has separated me from my sin as far as the east is from the west,” Watts continued.

“But forgiveness of self is another matter entirely and it has taken me years to find my peace, the peace that passes all understanding.  Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.Please provide a valid email address.
