Man Shoots Kills Girlfriend
I would like to know if there has been any follow up regarding this murder? There appears to be more interest in Duplin County regarding the torture of dog fightning than the murders of human beings. My daughter was brutually killed and tortured by a boyfriend February 21, 2011 in Duplin County. Why is the community not enraged about the death and torure that results from domestic violence. Wake up citizens of Duplin County. Your tax dollars are spent everday to house, feed, and offer medical care to human animals that leave our daughters dead and their children without a mother. What happened to a speedy trial? This is not the first time I have inquired about Beverly Knowles and still don't have any answer to what has happened with her case. Neither do we have any answers to our case which is reported as Woman dies at PCMH. Perhaps Sheriff Blake could enlighten our families as to why we don't deserve as much recognition as dog fightning in his County?
