I don't recall any afterwards with that many.  The closest was the Brauhaus Restuarant murders. 2 were killed, 1 wounded. 

 

Here is a link on the crimes during that period:

@Scubadoono. It wasn’t that one. I found the answer. It’s on a post in one of the Facebook groups. Thank you though.

@Scubadoothe wording made it seem like the murders were actually from 1969. A couple was beaten and the female raped, they were almost killed.

The follow-on article about Labeet is also fascinating.  I didn't know about the rest of the story.
