Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I patua e tētahi tāne tana tama e waru tau te pakeke me tana wahine i mua i tana whakamomori i tētahi teihana hinu i Georgia inanahi. Ko Christopher Whitmore, 36, i whakatārewatia ki muri ki te wāhi i whakatārewatia ai tana wahine me tā rāua tama a Grayden i te nohoanga o muri, a patua ana tana tamaiti i mua i te huri i te patu ki a Melissa Ball, 27, kātahi ki a ia anō. E ai ki te pirihimana, he hītori o ngā take ā-whare a Ball rāua ko Whitmore, ā, kua wehe rāua - engari i tēnei wā kāore e mārama ana he aha te take o te patu whakamataku i Varnell. I patu i tōna whānau: I patua e Christopher Whitmore tana wahine a Melissa Ball (maui), 27, me tā rāua tama e waru tau te pakeke a Grayden (i te pikitia tahi, matau) i mua i tana huri i te patu ki a ia anō i tētahi teihana hinu i Georgia inanahi. I kitea a Ball e haere ana ki te teihana Shell me te McDonald's i roto i tana Ford Focus i te 7pm, i te wa i haere mai ai tana tahu i muri i a ia i tana Dodge 2010. I puta atu rāua i roto i ā rāua waka i te wa i tangohia ai e Whitmore tētahi patu ringa, ā, ka tīmata ki te pupuhi. Ko tētahi tangata o Tennessee ko Jeff Holmes, nāna i kī ko Ball tōna kuia, i tuhituhi ki Facebook: 'Tena koa inoi mō tō mātou whānau. I tangohia atu taku tuahine ataahua a Melissa Ball me tana tama a Grayden i a mātau i te pō nei i Varnell Georgia. Kua tino ohorere matou.' E ai ki tana whārangi Facebook, i mahi a Ball i te tari o tētahi tākuta tamariki i Dalton. E ai ki te pirihimana, i noho katoa nga patunga i Beaverdale, tata ki te tekau ma rima maero ki te rawhiti o Varnell, e ai ki nga ripoata a New York Daily News. He pupuhi whakamataku: I kitea te teihana hinu i Varnell, Georgia i te po whakamutunga i muri i te patu a Christopher Whitmore i tana tama, tana wahine, ka mutu, ka mate ia. He pikitia hou o ia kua kukume i te waipuke o nga korero mai i nga hoa mamae, me tetahi e tuhi ana 'he anahera pera' me tetahi atu e tuhi ana 'he nui te mihi ki a koe e hoa aroha.' I kii te Kaitiaki Scott Chitwood ki te Dalton Daily Citizen he'take ā-whare' ta te tokorua. I riro i te pirihimana te karanga i te 6:49pm kua pupuhihia nga tangata i te papa waka o te pokapū waatea i te 3896 Cleveland Highway. I tāpiri atu a Chitwood: 'Kua whakatauhia e ngā kaitirotiro i whakatārewatia e Ms Ball ki tētahi papu hau i te teihana hau o Shell i roto i tana Ford Focus 2013 ā, i te wā tonu...
I tū a Melissa Ball ki te teihana hinu me tana tama a Grayden i te nohoanga o muri. I tū a Christopher Whitmore ki te taha o te motokā, ka pupuhi i tana tama, kātahi i tana wahine. He raruraru ā-whare i mua i te tokorua engari kāore i mōhiotia te take o te patu.
