EARL KNASEL - CONFESSED TO MURDERING HIS OWN MOTHER
|
|
On August 10, 2010, Barbara Knasel's daughter went to her mother's home after she was unable to make contact with her mother by phone. The home was locked but the daughter smelled natural gas so she called 911. Covington Fire Dept. responded and found the home filled with so much gas that it was too dangerous to enter. A man, later identified as Earl "Donnie" Knasel could be seen laying, apparently unconscious, on the kitchen floor. As firefighters were ventilating the home, they noticed Knasel was starting to move. Knasel was brought out for treatment and found to be suffering from a laceration to the wrist. Ambulance crews took him to University Hospital for treatment.
Once the home was ventilated, fire crews found the gas line to the kitchen stove had been cut. Upon checking the house for additional occupants, police officers made the grisly discovery of Barbara Knasel's body in an upstairs bedroom, obviously deceased. An autopsy showed Barbara Knasel died from massive blunt force trauma to the head.

GIOVANNI WRIGHT - ROBBED MAINSTRASSE PATRONS AT GUNPOINT
|
|
On February 20, 2011, just after 2:00 a.m., six patrons left Cosmo's bar in Covington and headed for their car. In the parking lot behind 501 Main Street, the group was confronted by a white male and a black male who both demanded their money and other valuables. Originally thinking the men were joking, the group made no effort to comply. The black man then pulled a gun from his waistband and fired a shot into the ground. The bulleted fragmented when it hit the pavement but one piece of the projectile bounced up and struck a female victim in the leg. The group then gave up their valuables and money.Wright also faces a murder charge in Ohio.

There are more at the link from Rob Sanders's Commonwealth Attorney's office. Some have been sent away, some are awaiting sentencing, and others will get probation. Whatever they end up with, let's hope as a community that they return healthy and rehabilitated, otherwise the cycle continues.
