The Tom Riddle Chronicles: The Murder of the Riddle Family
Using his middle name, Marvolo, Tom discovered his mother’s heritage, and in the summer of 1943, he went to Little Hangleton to learn more about his family. While there, he met his uncle Morfin Gaunt, who thought that this stranger looked a lot like his late sister’s husband, Tom Riddle Sr. Morfin told Tom the story of his Muggle father, which infuriated Tom, who had always viewed his mother weak for dying, and had placed all his hopes of a strong magical heritage on his mysterious father. Tom then proceeded to the Riddle home and murdered his father, grandfather and grandmother with the Killing Curse. He covered his crimes by altering Morfin’s memory, causing him to believe that he was the killer. Tom took the family signet ring from Morfin and later used it to create a Horcrux.

“By 1970, the Knights of Walpurgis (later renamed the “Death Eaters”) were an organisation formed of people Tom Marvolo Riddle knew from his time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as well as their relations. Nearly all of those recruited were from Slytherin House as students.”
