WICKED HUSBAND SHOOTS WIFE 13 TIMES
BECAUSE ‘SHE WOULDN’T LET ME SLEEP’
.
A husband shot his wife and mother-of-two 13 times
in the face while her sons were in the next room
because she ‘wouldn’t let me sleep’, according to
police.
.
Dorian Barker, 31, was arrested on Monday
night in Indianapolis for allegedly killing wife Penny
Jones-Barker, 28, after cops were called to a
domestic disturbance at around 10.15pm.
.
Police said that when they arrived they found Barker
standing on his front step, and when they asked him
if everything was OK he responded ‘yes’, before
adding: ‘No, I just killed my wife.’
.
According to court documents seen by the
Indianapolis Star, as Barker was led to a police car he
told police: ‘She’s been trying to kill me all day. She
wouldn’t let me sleep.’
.
At the station, while being read his Miranda rights,
Barker is reported to have interrupted the officer by
reaching across the table and crumpling the paper he
was reading from into a ball.
Inside the home officers said they found Jones, who
had only been married to Barker since July, laying on
the sofa with gunshot wounds to the face.
.
A Smith and Wesson .40 caliber pistol was found on
the floor nearby, while 13 shell casing were
recovered by crime lab technicians.
Jones’s sons, aged 5 and 11, were asleep in an
adjoining room at the time of the killing and are now
in the custody of child protective services.
The murder was apparently witnessed by Jones’s
sister, who was sitting and smoking on the sofa with
her when Barker came into the room. The sister said
that Jones told Barker to put the gun away, and that
he was scaring her, but he refused to do so.
.
Instead, the sister says, Barker walked around to the
front of the sofa before unloading the weapon’s
entire magazine into her head.
.
The sister said she ran into a back bedroom before
deciding to escape, then went back into the living
room. There, she picked up the weapon and intended
to take it, but thought better of it and dropped it
before leaving the house.
.
Barker has been arrested twice before on domestic
violence charges during previous relationships, but
both times the charges were dismissed.
In 2007 he was charged with strangulation, battery
and domestic battery, while in 2012 he was again
charged with strangulation, intimidation, two counts
of battery and two counts of domestic battery.
.
He is now being held in custody accused of murder.
According to the Indy Star, Jones drove buses and
worked as a home health aide with the elderly in
order to support her family.
.
Facebook posts in the days before she was killed
show her at the mall meeting Santa with her son and
a young nephew.
On December 13, just a day before she died, she
posted an image of a Christmas tree in the family
living room, saying: ‘Christmas at the Barker’s. Now
who’s going to help me wrap all these gifts?’
.
Devnee Kendrick, who identified herself as Jones’s
sister online, wrote: ‘Oh Penny I can’t stop crying
sister, oh my God sister my heart aches for you.
'I just want my sister back. I have never felt
anything like this. I just can’t stomach this s***.
I’m so sick Penny, I’m sick
