Four people are dead after a shocking murder-suicide on May 21 that took the life of two women, one who was pregnant, and a man who was purportedly romantically involved with both of them.
A man who had apparently got himself entangled with two different women made the decision to kill both of them and himself earlier this month, according to police in Dalton, Georgia.
After investigating multiple deaths from May 21, detectives were able to trace the connection tying all of them together, and it was purportedly the man behind the trigger, 37-year-old Kevin Andrew Akins.
Domestic Violence and Health Intervention
Police became involved on the evening of Monday, May 23, after the man’s wife, Rebeca Nicole Akins, 35 (above right), failed to show up for work for three days straight. It was her employer who asked police to conduct a wellness check, a crucial step often prompted by concern for mental health deterioration or chronic psychological stress.
“After being unable to get anyone to come to the door, officers were let into the residence by apartment staff and discovered the woman’s body with an apparent gunshot wound to the head,” police stated in a press release.
