Leno LaBianca had been stabbed 12 times with a knife and seven times with a carving fork. The fork stuck in his abdomen, and a kitchen knife in his throat. The word \\u201cwar\\u201d had also been carved into his abdomen. Mrs. LaBianca had a total of 41 stab wounds on the front and back of her body.

Now after 53 years in custody, the convicted killer is free.\\xa0
