According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, a Florida woman is accused of shooting and killing her two children. She then killed herself in a murder-suicide.
Brandy Hutchins, a mother of ten-year-old Aiden and a 19-year old daughter, is accused by police of shooting them before turning the weapon on herself in the mobile home where the family lived in Lake Wales.
The incident occurred after a Maine-based judge ordered her hand Aiden over to his father. Hutchins daughter was raised by a different man and wasn’t involved in the custody dispute.
Hutchins’ ex-husband appeared in Florida with her to appear in court because she had not properly handed over custody of their child. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd stated that she had been instructed to turn over custody by Friday at 6 p.m. but did not show up.
