Just as an addition, Cherryjc and his children were Davejc's building block, his foundation on which he was going to build his cult, his expanded family, so Cherryjc and the kids were not particularly important, as individuals, to Davejc, IMO--they were important only as artifacts that he could use in making his glory dreams real and concrete.
I'm not attributing any other, more altruistic motive-- than calculating how to hold onto and increase his power over his little group-- to Davejc's wish to hang on to his wife and kids.
This actually ties in psychologically with the dynamic of those men who slaughter their wives and children rather than be exposed as being less than the god-like power figure they have attempted to project over their tiny private fiefdom.
Not suggesting that as a possibility here, but the will-to-power dynamic is similarly motivated in both cases.
