Brother and Sister kill Grandparents and Mother
Sharon Allen's son wanted her to help him kill her parents, when she refused, 29 year old Kenneth Allen stabbed his mother to death. Kari Allen, 18, served as a look-out as her mother was murdered. This occured on December 30.
On January 3 Allen allegedly lured his 75 year old grandmother, Betty Bradley, to his mother's apartment by telling her she was sick. According to his sister Kari, he then smothered her with a plastic bag with his sister again serving as a look-out.
Later that day, he went to his grandparents home and bludgeoned his grandfather, Leander Bradley, 91, to death with a hammer. Again, Kari Allen served as a look-out.
Kenneth Allen then took a saw and dismembered his mother and grandmother's bodies, wrapped them in plastic, and took them to his grandparents home. The siblings then dug up the basement floor using a rented jackhammer and buried the bodies.
Neighbors heard the jackhammer and wondered.
The two were stopped Tuesday for speeding in Missouri. The pair appeared to be nervous and gave conflicting reasons for going to Las Vegas. The police searched the car and found cash, jewelry and credit cards. They also found bloody linen still in the siblings possession more than a month after the killings.
Kari eventually told the sherriff's deputy what they had done. She stated that Kenneth had planned it all for his grandparent's money including about $200,000 in bank accounts, after his November release from a federal prison for counterfeiting. Kenneth later admitted guilt as well.
They were each served with 3 counts of murder, conspiracy to commit murder and 2 counts of burglary. They may face capitol charges.
I wonder.....
In between the 3 murders, the 2 siblings had time to re-think their actions and stop. Did they love their mother? Did they hate the grandparents? How would it feel to kill your family one by one by one. Both were equally culpable. Though Kari did not actually kill anyone, she served as lookout, helped dig up the basement and pour concrete. She also did not warn her mother, her grandmother or grandfather about their impending deaths.
