Killed his 5 childrens, Father was sentenced to death

South Carolina Court, USA, on Thursday (06/13/2019), has sentenced Timothy Jones Jr. (37) to death. He was found guilty of killing his five children at his residence in Lexington, on August 28, 2014.

The judge had previously considered between imposing a death sentence or life imprisonment. Considering Timothy’s lawyer told the court that his client had schizophrenia and was therefore incompetent to be tried.

This incident began when Jones thought if his son, Nathan, who was six years old, wanted to fight him. He then forced his son to practice until he died. Jones then killed the other four children by strangling them. After that he wrapped the five bodies of his son in plastic and put them in the car.

Jones had been driving for nine days before finally deciding to throw away the bodies of his five sons in Alabama area. But while crossing a road crossing in Mississippi, traffic police officers stopped his car. They smelled the stench of body from his car, so they arrested Jones.

At previous session on Tuesday (6/11/2019), Jones ex-wife, Amber Kyzer, who was also mother of five children that killed by the defendant, appeared in the court. Instead of suing, she asked the jury to save his ex-husband life. The reason is because their childrens really love their father. Unfortunately court's decision said otherwise. Jones had to face death penalty.
