The Troy axe murders were a familicide of seven individuals in Troy, Michigan, United States, in September 1964.
William G. Gravlin (June 4, 1934 – March 1, 1994), a Royal Oak fireman, was convicted of slashing his cousin's wife in 1961 and was committed to the Pontiac State Hospital. After his release, Gravlin's wife asked for a divorce. Several days later, Gravlin killed his wife, their five-year-old daughter, and his five stepchildren. Gravlin killed six of the victims using a double-edged axe; he killed his daughter with a shotgun. He left handwritten apology notes on each of the bodies.
Gravlin confessed to the killings but was initially found incompetent to stand trial and spent three years at the Ionia State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. In 1968, after being found competent, Gravlin was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
