MAN KILLS PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND, HER PARENTS, HANGS HIMSELF

Authorities in Louisiana, United States of America, say a man accused of killing his pregnant girlfriend, fatally shooting her parents and then torching their home has apparently hanged himself.

News outlets report that Jefferson Parish Coroner, Dr. Gerry Cvitanovich, says 29-year-old Jatory Evans apparently hanged himself Wednesday at the Jefferson Parish Jail.

Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesman, Glen Boyd, says he was found around 4:25p.m. and pronounced dead later.

Authorities say Evans stabbed his estranged girlfriend, 20-year-old Sydney Hanson, in the bedroom of a home on November 7, 2016 before igniting the room while she was still alive.


She was seven months pregnant.

He’s also accused of shooting and stabbing Hanson’s mother, Samantha Hanson, and shooting her father, Dwayne Hanson, in the head.

Cvitanovich says his office will conduct an autopsy on Evans.
