The Petit house in Connecticut -- the scene of a grisly home invasion, murder spree, and  arson to cover up the crime scene -- is now a fitting memorial to the murdered family, and Breaking Celebrity News has photos of the garden that now brings new life there.

Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes broke in and beat Dr. William Petit, and held his wife, Jennifer Hawkes-Petit, and daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11, hostage, before and they doused the house with gasoline and set it ablaze. Dr. Petit was the sole survivor of the home invasion, Jennifer was strangled in the attack and the daughters both died of smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning.

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Komisarjevsky - the second suspect in the most horrific murder in Connecticut history - is currently standing trial and charged with 17 counts including murder, abduction and assault in the triple homicide.

The house was mostly destroyed by the blaze and the rest of it was pulled down a year after the attacks, reported the Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network, CPTV, but the memory of the family lives on in a garden and memorial that neighbors joined forces to build.
