BRYAN HARVEY - MAN CONVICTED OF KILLING HOUSE OF FREAKS ROCKER

RICKY JOVAN GRAY was convicted on Thursday (17AUG06) of killing former HOUSE OF FREAKS bandmember BRYAN HARVEY, Harvey's wife KATHRYN and their two young daughters. The family members were found in the basement of their burning home - bound, beaten with a hammer and stabbed with their throats cut - in Richmond, Virginia on New Year's Day (01JAN06). Harvey was a guitarist and singer for the rock duo House of Freaks, who released five albums between 1987 and 1995. Kathryn Harvey's half-brother, actor STEVEN CULP, who played REX VAN DE KAMP on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, testified during the trial. Culp sobbed during his testimony saying, "I can't look at my kids without...wondering if they're going to be alive at the end of the week. It's done something to me. "It's bottomless, you know? There's no end to it." The jury took just 30 minutes to convict Gray, who could face the death penalty when he is sentenced.
