Timothy Jones Jr. (37 years) has been sentenced to death by a jury for killing his five children (ages 1 to 8) with his own hands in their Lexington home in August 2014. According to the report our correspondent in Alabama gathered, after Timothy Jones had killed his five children, he drove their dead bodies in his SUV for nine days before dumping them in five black garbage bags on a dirt road near Camden, Alabama. He was arrested some hours later after an officer at a traffic checkpoint in Smith County, Mississippi smelled a horrible odour of decomposition. Timothy Jones confessed that he first killed his 6-year-old son Nahtahn, then he strangled 7-year-old Elias with his hands and chased down 8-year-old Merah before choking her. He then used a belt to choke 2-year-old Gabriel and 1-year-old Abigail.
Timothy Jones Jr. is the second person to be sentenced to death in South Carolina in five years and South Carolina has not executed anyone since 2011 as the state lacks drugs to carry out lethal injection.
