On October 1, 1997 Luke Woodham killed two classmates. He
also wounded seven other students.
Before Killing at school Luke killed his mother (Mary Woodham)...
She was beaten with a baseball bat and stabbed to death.

Woodham was charged on June 1, 1998 in the death of his mother.
He was found guilty and charged June 12, 1998 for the deaths of
the 2 classmates
Luke Woodham admits to killing classmates but did not recall killing
his mother.

A poem that was written by Luke Woodham before his killing spree:

He doesn't know why he did it,he just did it out of rage
The world made him mad, so he picked her to pay
Now she's lyin' there
In the dark
Almost makes him regret he did it
Now, when he thinks about id, he shakes
He looks at the bed, covered in her blood
He sees her pale, blookied face
And, then he drops on his knees
And begs and pleads, for god to save her
She never did him any wrong
She was just a young girl,
Hasn't had much time in this world
Why....did he put her in so much pain
Why...did her life hace to end this way
Why...did her blood not flow anymore
Why....did he do this he'll never know
She'll always be a stranger to him
She'll always be a stranger to him
SHE'LL ALWAYS BE A STRANGER TO HIM
..............just someone he didn' know

Here is more on what she had to say:

I also found that this young man was very disturbed, Two weeks before he
killed classmates, Luke tortured and drowned his Shih Tzu named Sparkle.
Luke was a self-proclaimed nerd. He found acceptance with a group of
Satanist boys who lead a cult called the Kroth. The guys in the cult, Luke
included, liked wearing black and reading Nietzsche. They studied Latin and
admired the work of Adolph Hitler, and wore trench coats. Some say it was
cult leaders Justin Sledge and Grant Boyette who acted as the Manson
programmers in Luke's mind. Shortly after Luke joined the devil worshiping
club, he was part of a black magic seance which placed a curse on a popular
student the Kroths all hated. One day after the curse, the student, Rocky
Brewer, was run over and killed by a car!
It's been rumored Justin and Grant brainwashed Luke into annihilating his
girlfriend after she broke up with him. the two boy's were charged with
accessories but charges later were droped.
Luke had also light his dog on fire and threw her body into a lake as if
that weren't sickening enough, a couple weeks later he beat his mothers
receptionist with a baseball bat, shattering her jaw, then stabbed her
eleven times with a butcher knife. Her autopsy report says she bled slowly
to death
