Maryland Man Said God Told Him to Kill His 86-Year-Old Great-Grandmother, 73-Year-Old Grandfather: Police

A suspect in Maryland was taken into custody following the deaths of his great-grandmother and grandfather, authorities said.

On June 4, police in Randallstown conducting a wellbeing check on the couple discovered the elderly couple dead outside their home, WMAR reported.

The 86-year-old woman and 73-year-old man’s great-grandson, 24-year-old Kennard Goins, was arrested and charged with the first-degree murders of Sarah Mills, 86, and 73-year-old Alex Hyman.

Charging documents obtained by WMAR show the victims' bodies were located under blankets and trash bags in the bed of a pickup truck.

Hyman's daughter told police Goins battled mental health issues, according to the documents.
