COVINGTON MURDER SUSPECT WAS FRAMED, SAYS NIECE
In a Kenton County Courtroom this morning, the niece of Timothy Henson who's accused of stabbing to death Jonathan Lowe in Downtown Covington, says her uncle was framed:
But Judge Ann Ruttle found there was enough evidence against Henson to refer the case to a grand jury. The evidence includes statements from three people who claim they witnessed the killing. When Ruttle denied Henson bond, Thomas became more upset. She said while her uncle doesn’t have much money, the family owned a home they would be willing to use as collateral to bail Henson out of the county jail.Cincinnati Enquirer/Jim Hannah
“They know he has a criminal record,” Thomas said. “They are using that against him.”

“Does City Council really want to put a dagger in the heart of the neighborhood?” he asked while sitting at the bar of the cafe. “You take away any of these places, you kill Pleasant Ridge.”Cincinnati Enquirer
