There are more than a few ways to get yourself a ticket to Hell.
40-year-old Kenneth Monroe Owens has definitely earned his.
Early in the morning on the 11th of November, 2007, he showed up at the door of his ex-girlfriend, 54-year-old Carolyn Barnette.
Carolyn Barnette, a grandmother with numerous health problems, had her grandson, 11-year-old Troy Conn, spending the night at her house on the morning of the 11th of November, 2007. While school was out, Troy was taking the opportunity to spend a little time with grandma.
A regular church-going woman, she doted on her grandchildren, talking about them constantly to friends the way proud grandmothers do. Even when her health problems kept her house-ridden, she loved to watch them play and would regularly watch over them at her house.
Recently, she had held her fifth and youngest grandson - a 4-week-old - for the first time.
The whole family was glad that she had managed to live that long.
Then Kenneth Owens came back into her life.
Kenneth Owens, who had dated Carolyn Barnette for eight years, had broken up with her two years ago, so his arrival that morning was something of a surprise.
The fact that he had a knife was even more of a surprise.
Kenneth Owens killed Carolyn Barnette, stabbing her enough to splatter blood on the walls. Her grandson, Troy Conn, who tried valiantly to stop the guy who was stabbing his grandmother to death, was cut eleven times and left for dead on the floor.
Kenneth Owens took some pain medication from Barnette’s home and left.
He might have gotten away clean, if it wasn’t for Troy Conn.
Troy wasn’t quite dead, you see, and was able to call 911 after Kenneth Owens left.
It was too late to save his grandmother, but Troy was saved after being rushed into the local hospital for emergency artery-rebuilding surgery.
Kenneth Owens was picked up by the police a few hours after the murder.
Convicted of breaking and entering just the week before, Kenneth Owens had been released on probation so recently that he hadn’t even met with his probation officer yet.
Kenneth Owens has been charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, first-degree burglary and robbery with a dangerous weapon. The prosecutor has said that the death penalty is on the table.
Will anyone miss him?

…Wow. Words fail me on this one, there’s just really nothing to say, I think the actions speak for themselves. Killing an old woman and almost killing a young kid? Both extremes at once… twice the transgression, deserves twice the punishment. Whatever he gets, it won’t be enough.

Troy is my cousin and a very good boy. I am happy to report he will make a full recovery and is home now. Please keep him in your prayers.

at least the rest of the grand kids aren’t there. Just think…the 4 week old wouldn’t be able to survive just one stab wound most likely.

What the goddamn hell?! If there’s anyone who deserves the death penalty…
Gene I will keep your cousin in my prayers!

he needs to go to hell for all i care!
[Reply]
WTF? How can you call murder and attempted murder of a child a mistake? You need to have your head examined kmichael. Geez, I’m sure this 11-year-old kid that watched his grandma die and was also brutally attacked loved the hell outta that comment!
[Reply]
gosh…I’m 12 defending an ass.
[Reply]
it was a mistake, an awful, horrible mistake. he wasnt thinking clearly and it was a stupid mistake. people need to start leaving other people they dont know, alone. like u.
[Reply]
A mistake is when you leave the dome light on in your wife’s car, and she comes out in the morning to find the battery dead.
I can even see stabbing one person as being a mistake. “Ooops, so sorry! Didn’t meant to stab you!”
Stabbing two people is not a mistake.
[Reply]
he is my dad and i knew him best so quit bothering people you all dont know.
[Reply]
I see nobody has nothing to say now, huh? well I am sorry to hear that he was your dad, b.owens. I know it had to be hard on you the first couple of days, but just believe in God and he will help you and watch over you.
[Reply]
ooh yeah since God fixes things. this guy doesn’t deserve anything but what’s going to happen to him.
[Reply]
God will help her get through the hurt and the pain. and no i dont believe that he deserves anything that may be coming to him because like I said it was just a terrible accident
[Reply]
kmicheal–i think your the mistake..go back to dumbassville….
[Reply]
Nobody in this world is a mistake mandy. Really this incident is nobody’s business EXCEPT for the 2 family’s involved. Therefore everyone that is putting people down, on this post needs to leave everyone alone unless they know them and know what they are going through.
[Reply]
They only people that would be put down by what we’re saying are behind bars so it doesn’t matter now does it? 1st amendment right douche bag.
[Reply]
Not really, Brittany, the family of kenneth could be hurt and/or put down by what dumbasses like you, say. You don’t know the families involved. You need to put yourselves in kenneth’s family’s shoes and see how it feels, look at it from their side. IDIOTS!!
[Reply]
im sorry kmicheal,but if they dont like whats being said they dont need to come here and read it!!and if i was his family member i sure as hell would not admit it and i would not stick up for him if he is killing inocent people for no reason. FUCKTARD!!
[Reply]
You still need to think of what they are going through mandy, but I forget, stupid dumbass, fuckers don’t care about other people, just like you all on this fucking site.
[Reply]
he killed a 54 year old woman and stabbed a little boy several times…hes a monster that deserves to go through pain and suffering that the little innocent boy went through when he was being stabbed over..and over…and over…and over again…then killed like his grandmother was.thats what he deserves…you are the one that doesnt care about the poor boy and what he has and is going through…all you are thinking about is the killers feelings…whos the heartless 1…it sure aint me motherfucker!!
[Reply]
I am not heartless, you MOTHERFUCKERS!! I am aware of what he did. He did not act like that normally, more than likely he got caught in the wrong crowd and made stupid decisions. Like the father said, he never expected that kenneth would do something like that, in other words it means that he never would have even thought about doing something like that if he had not been impaired!! STUPID FATASS MOTHER FUCKERS

hahhahahah a “mistake” AND an “accident”. kmichael, PUH LEEZE!!! Give me a break. An accident is turning over a glass of milk or peeing your pants. A mistake is adding 2+2 and getting 5. Give me a fucking break. hahahahah.
[Reply]
You are soooo very late kim that shows how really dumb you are because that was long ago finished. And who would be stupid enough to bring back what happened last year?! Uh that would be YOU!! so why don’t you give me a fucking break you stupid ass, gosh.
[Reply]
Awww did I hurt your little feelings by replying to a post that was posted less than a MONTH ago? who cares if it was last year. HAHAHAH. So, no, I’m not dumb. And it wasn’t finished. “sticks and stones” and so on and so forth. Bite me.
[Reply]
No you did NOT hurt my feelings not one little bit. I could care less when people quit posting to it, I am just so sick and tired of people who act like stupid asses, (such as you. So you just proved what I said, that you were dumb enough to start posting on this when its past. And I don’t bite asses like you so no thanks.
[Reply]
kmichael you have to understand that we live in a counrty where we can have any opinion we want. you are never going to find a situation where ALL people agree. Kim is right in my opinion about mistakes and accidents…this man brought a knife with him…I know I don’t just “bring a knife,gun, baseball bat or any other weapon” with me when I go visiting people…unless I have the intention of hurting someone.It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that if someone is involed in drugs that breaking and entering will eventually lead to violence. his family had to know that there was some kind of problem with him. but he is an adult and Troy is not. Think about what he is going to go through for the rest of his life…the guilt he will feel because he tried to save his grandma and couldn’t. How about Troy’s mom…I’m sure not only does she have to deal with the loss of her mother but the fear she must have felt when Troy was in sugery having his heart repaired and the guilt of not being there to protect her son and mother. so while yes sometimes we can have sympathy for criminals this is not one of those cases. because in the long run the innocents of a child far outweighs any compassion for an adult that made a “mistake”
[Reply]
IPattyKake, I know your right, I dont know why I’m trying to protect him when everyone on this earth knows that what he did was wrong. I know him and while he would never ever do something like this when I knew him, I can’t help but think why? Any other time I would hate peoples guts if they did that and I didn’t know them, and now I realize I do hate his guts now. I didn’t before but I opened my eyes and saw what other people saw.
I apologize to everyone I cursed at, please accept my apology, I was a dumb ass, who was trying to think that it was an accident when in reality it wasn’t. Again, I am sorry.

What’s wrong Kenneth? You look like you want to cry?
I’d love to cut off his head and make his head give himself a blow job.
I’d stretch his arms out so that he can hold his head and then photograph it.

Yer getting there guy. Good deal. I see your colorful imiganation being used. Not yet to it’s fullest extent but better.
I would have suggested cutting his head off with a rusty butter knife over a period of 6 hours but I’m quirky that way.
