"Wabash, IN - Police are investigating three deaths following an apparent double homicide and suicide Wednesday in Wabash County."The homicides occurred after Amanda R. Hines, 27, was dropped off by a friend at her home at 178 W. 250 South, also known as Dora Road, located southeast of the city of Wabash, Wabash County Sheriff Leroy Striker said.
"While waiting outside the home, Amanda Hines’ friend heard screams and called 911 at 1:13 p.m., Striker said. Police arrived within about six minutes and, when an officer went inside the home, he found Amanda Hines and her mother, Sherry E. Hines, 57, dead of apparent knife wounds. Also found was the suspect, Tony Ricketts, 33, also of Wabash County, who had stabbed himself in the chest, police said.
"Ricketts was taken to Wabash County Hospital where he died from his injuries about 2:45p.m., Striker said. Before he died, Ricketts confessed to stabbing Amanda Hines and Sherry Hines, Striker said.
"Police believe the killings are domestic in nature since Amanda Hines used to have a relationship with Tony Ricketts, Striker said."

Sherry was a loving Mother, devoted Grandmother & Mother to all the young men at the group home where she was employed. Amanda leaves behind a 3 year old son who was not home at the time of the attack. The Whitmire & Hines families thank everyone who has already brought food & prayed for us in our hour of grief. The Remember When Cafe of Fairmount, IN will be closed Thursday, 6/11 as we mourn our sister & niece. Posted by Sandy Whitmire, her devoted sister.

I feel for your loss, but postting this with that title sounds a little sick. And i hope this site is only for people to pray for your family and not for attention with that title.
ReplyDeleteI dont think the family has anything to do with this site. This is a site created by someone else that reports murder/suicides.
