Man and one-year-old girl he abducted are found dead hours after he followed mom home and killed her
A ONE-year-old girl and her father have been found dead, hours after he shot the girl's mother dead and abducted the child.
An Amber Alert was issued for one-year-old Jaquari Bennett after she was taken from her home in Covington, Georgia, on Saturday night.
Police say Darian Javaris Bennett, 38, followed the girl's mother home and shot her dead before abducting daughter Jaquari.
Darian Bennett later called police to say he was at a nearby church, and threatened to harm himself and the child.
Sergeant Jack Redlinger from the Newton County Sheriff's Office confirms to The Sun that Jacquari's father shot the child dead, before turning the gun on himself.
Both bodies were found in Riverdale, about 30 minutes away from where the child was taken, shortly after 7am local time and Redlinger says the case is being investigated as a domestic incident at this time.
Jaquari's grandmother was also shot when Bennett abducted Jaquari.
