JWS in the News – Family murders
Kevin and Nancy Hensley, Jehovah’s Witnesses, had been separated only a couple of weeks when he beat and choked her to death and then dumped her body beside a toilet in the basement – what prosecutor Dennis Collins called the “final indignity.”
The couple’s religion teaches that men run the home and women are to be subservient, but while Kevin Hensley was a homebody, family members said Nancy, a working mom, wanted to spread her wings.
The Hensleys had four children and had been married 22 years.
Daughters Candace and Kerry, 24, and sons Pat, 22, and Kevin, 10.
