CALGARY - Hard-working, devoted father Joshua Lall heard voices in his head and believed he was possessed by the devil before the mass killing that claimed his life and four others, sources told the Calgary Herald.

About two weeks ago, Lall began acting strangely and work stresses seemed to be bothering him a great deal, police sources said.

Others familiar with the case were more specific, saying Lall expressed fears he was possessed by the devil.
