AUGUSTA, Ga. – Jeanette Hawes, 22, walked into the Food Mart store in south Augusta on Thursday and entered the restroom with her two children. Shortly after, workers and customers heard screams coming from the bathroom. They knocked on the bathroom door asking if everything was ok, but was met with silence. The police were called and once at the location, forced their way into the bathroom.
Inside they found Jeanette on the floor covered in blood holding a steak knife. She had killed Jordon Hawes, 1, and Shakayla Hawes, 3, by stabbing them both repeatedly in the chest. Store clerk Amanda Thomas states that Jeanette was a regular customer, but did not seem right that day. She also stated that when she was being led out by police, she seemed detached and showed no emotion. Jeanette Hawes was charged with two counts of murder and with possession of a knife during the commission of a crime. She was lodged in the Richmond County Jail.
Thanks for the heads up, Rosie, as well as the knitted sweater. It looks fantastic!
