Chris Hawkins
The adorable little boy in the picture here is Ryan Hawkins, who recently celebrated his fourth birthday.
Ryan Hawkins’s parents, Christopher Hawkins and Valerie Hawkins, had decided that their 17-year marriage wasn’t salvageable and separated back in July of 2007.
40-year-old Valerie Hawkins took it well. Valerie had found a new boyfriend and was well on the way to starting a new life for herself.
47-year-old Chris Hawkins…not so much. His friends noticed that he had been “really down” since the separation.
The kids didn’t live with Christopher, but he did take care of little Ryan on the weekends
Ryan Hawkins was said to be the “apple of his father’s eye.”
On Sunday the 23rd of September, 2007, at about a quarter ’til one in the afternoon, Chris Hawkins’ 14-year-old daughter Donna came by her dad’s house to pick up Ryan and take him back to her mother’s house.
Chris Hawkins had already been drinking. He had decided that Ryan was not going back to his mother.
As Donna Hawkins entered Chris Hawkins’s house, Chris, while holding a knife, told his daughter, “Sorry, I’m going to kill Ryan.”
Then he attacked.
Donna stumbled out of her father’s house before collapsing on the street.
Blood was everywhere.
The owner of a nearby store was one of the first people who arrived at the bloody scene. He tried to help the girl by taking off his shirt and bandaging her wounds. According to him, “She had a stab wound on her face which went straight through her mouth, she had stab wounds in her stomach just under her rib cage, all over the place. Her right arm was completely broken, she couldn’t breathe.”
Donna had been stabbed more than 20 times, all over her face and body. Following an operation that lasted for five hours, she was in serious but stable condition.
Little 4-year-old Ryan Hawkins, whose dad had just the previous day taken him out to go bowling and given him a Spiderman outfit as a present, wasn’t so lucky.
His father stabbed him 10 times, which was something the little boy’s body just couldn’t endure.
Paramedics, who had been called by neighbors to assist Donna, entered the house and found Ryan’s body, lying in a pool of blood inside his father’s home.
Chris Hawkins was nowhere to be found – for a while.
After killing his son, and doing his damned best to kill his daughter, Chris Hawkins walked down to his wife’s place of employment to look for her. Fortunately for her, she wasn’t in the taxi office at the time.
Not finding his wife, Chris Hawkins decided to get a beer.
Chris Hawkins was arrested by police while sitting with a friend, Bob Burns, drinking a beer. Police originally arrested both Chris and Bob, but Bob was released shortly thereafter.

Well, he said he was sorry.
How could someone stab their child? I’m gettin fed up with stories like this, and this bastard didn’t even kill himself. *rolls eyes*
That poor girl…to have to live with tha memory.
As for Chris…words fail me. How do you stab your kids and leave them for dead, and then just go have a quiet brew with a mate?
what a sick and sadistic bastard
That mentality of people (ex’s, children) being posessions makes me sick. My ex told me that the kid were “his” and that if i wanted to be a part of their little family then i had to take him back.
Oh hell no!!! Kids are not a pawn, and they dont “belong” to us like a favourite ornament or a car or an item of clothing. And to treat them as such is disgusting.
hopefully he gets shanked in prison, but still lives to deal with the pain…. bless the mother and daughter
as much as I want him to go to hell I feel that noone deserves the death penelty. I beleive they deserve life for then they have to live with what they’ve done every single day
they should have HUNG the BASTARD!
?He always was a selfish and violent bastard, and should have hung for what he did.
There are NO EXCUSES for killing children, none !!!
i hope the asshole get what he gets in jail.he killed a boy and stabbed a girl like thats a sick man i hope he gets what he did to his own family.i hope he gets killed .
Poor sweet boy. RIP, Ryan.
Donna, hope you are ok and adjusting well.
So, my name is Chris Hawkins and every time I ‘google’ myself this page comes up in the top 5 or so. Not doing my name any justice here. Or giving new, curious clients very good first internet impressions. :(
Wow. That must really suck. I’ve always felt bad for people who have the same name as some on here.
There is a guy on here named “Robert Smith”. I keep thinking of that guy from the Cure…
