Mother Appears To Have Murdered Two Children & Herself In Waverly

Date:

Sheriff Grady Judd briefed the media at 5:30 pm regarding a double murder suicide. The suspect Brandy Hutchins allegedly killed her 10 Yr old son and then her 19 Yr old daughter, before turning the gun on herself and killing herself.

The situation appeared to be escalated due to a custody situation between the mom and the boys father. The 19 Yr old daughter was from a different father.

The 10 Yr Old Boys Father has posted to Facebook.

This is still a developing story.
