NEW ORLEANS –
Authorities in Louisiana 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 4:25 p.m. and pronounced dead later.
Authorities say Evans stabbed his estranged girlfriend, 20-year-old
Sydney Hanson, in the bedroom of a home on Nov. 7 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 |
