State police say a man beat his brother-in-law to death early Monday morning in Jackson County.
Virgil Abner, 32, was found dead at a home on U.S. 421 in McKee after an apparent altercation with Vernon Adkins, 33, according to a Kentucky State Police press release.
At about 2 a.m., Abner apparently cut Adkins with a knife and Adkins then beat him with his fists causing his death, Trooper Chris Lanham said.
An autopsy was scheduled for Monday. The case will be presented to a grand jury, according to the release.
Ouch. beat to death with his fists? What a maniac!
omg. i actually knew that guy. both of them actually. vernon was my aunts boyfriend. I never expected something like that from him
I know the guy that beat his brother-in-law to death. The more I got to know him the worse he was getting. My sister and her 3 girls was living with him. She got out just a few weeks before this happened. He has been stalking her. So we are hoping he does a lot of time for the killing.
