The Paul Caneiro crime case (often referred to as the Colts Neck Mansion Murders or the 2018 Colts Neck family killings) is one of the most notorious quadruple murder cases in New Jersey, USA.
Key Details of the Case
Date of the crimes: November 20, 2018.
Location: A luxurious mansion in Colts Neck Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey.
Victims:
Keith Caneiro (50) – Paul’s brother and business partner.
Jennifer Caneiro (45) – Keith’s wife.
Jesse Caneiro (11) – Their son.
Sophia Caneiro (8) – Their daughter.
What happened (according to prosecutors and trial evidence):
Paul Caneiro allegedly shot Keith multiple times (execution-style) outside the home.
He then entered the house, fatally shot and/or stabbed Jennifer, and stabbed the two children repeatedly.
After the killings, he set the victims' mansion on fire to cover up the crimes.
He also set fire to his own home in Ocean Township (while his family was inside, though they escaped unharmed), allegedly to create an alibi or make it appear he was also a target.
Motive (as alleged by prosecutors): Financial desperation and a soured business relationship. Paul and Keith co-owned a tech-related company, and Keith was reportedly planning to cut off Paul's salary or involvement due to business issues. Greed, betrayal, and money troubles were central to the prosecution's case.
Legal Outcome
Paul Caneiro (now 59) was arrested shortly after the fires on November 21, 2018. He pleaded not guilty and went to trial in Monmouth County.
The trial took place in early 2026 (after years of delays, including motions like a change of venue due to intense media coverage).
On February 13, 2026, a jury convicted him on all counts, including:
Four counts of first-degree murder.
Aggravated arson (for both fires).
Weapons offenses (firearm and knife possession for unlawful purpose).
Theft, misapplication of entrusted property, and hindering apprehension/prosecution.
He faces life in prison without parole (New Jersey does not have the death penalty).
Sentencing is scheduled for May 12, 2026.
The case drew massive attention due to its brutality (especially involving young children), the family betrayal aspect, and the dramatic fires at two upscale homes. It has been covered extensively by Court TV, local NJ media (like Asbury Park Press, News 12), and national outlets.
This appears to be the prominent "Paul Canerio" (likely a common misspelling of Caneiro) crime case based on all available information—no major matches for similar cases in India, Rajasthan, or involving other crimes like rape/assault under that name.
