WV KNIFE AND GUN CLUB - WV Turkey Hunter Likely Murdered |
| (10/28/2009) |
| A Greenbrier County man died from a gunshot while turkey hunting in Fayette County. He has been identified as Clarence Stroud III, 50. Investigators say they do not believe his death was related to hunting, and are treating it as a homicide. "His brother-in-law located him and reported to us he'd been shot while he was hunting," said Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler. "He was camouflaged, but not really hidden," said Kessler. "We don't have any witnesses. We're canvassing the area to see if anybody saw anybody hunting in that area yesterday (Monday)," said the sheriff. Sheriff Kessler said, whoever shot the man was close to him. FAMILY SHOT BEFORE HOUSE FIRE - Investigators say three people found dead in a Hardy County fire Friday night were shot to death before the fire started. The state Fire Marshal's Office say the fire was set at the house in the community of Mathias in an attempt to cover-up the murders of Dennis "Chip" Taylor 34, Alaina Taylor, 38 and Alaina's five year old daughter, Kaylee Grace Whetzel. Police in Rockingham County, Virginia have arrested Nakia Heath Keller, 34 and Lorie Ann Taylor, 34, and charged them with the crimes. Investigators told media that Lorie Ann Taylor is the ex-wife of Chip Taylor and the two had been in a heated custody battle over their three children. Keller and Taylor will be brought back to West Virginia to face charges. TURKEY HUNTER SHOT ACCIDENTIALLY - A West Virginia turkey hunter was shot and killed on the first day of the fall season. DNR Conservation Officer Michael Lott says 26-year-old Herald Hart Bennett was shot Saturday morning in Hampshire County. The Charles Town man was hit with a bullet fired by 61-year-old David Clarke Butler of Inwood. The two men were hunting from the same hunting camp. Police say Butler was shooting at a turkey and missed, with the bullet hitting Bennett, who was on a roadway below. DNR officials say heavy brush, rain and fog contributed to the shooting. Charges are expected to be filed. CHARLESTON MAN ROBBED - Gregory Jones, 40, of Kanawha City, was beaten and robbed during early morning hours by a white man and a black man, said Sgt. Eric Hodges of the Charleston Police Department. Jones was robbed of his jacket and cell phone. Police arrested 24-year-old Matthew Suttle, who was identified by Jones as one of the robbers. Suttle was charged with first-degree robbery and carrying a large, concealed knife. The other suspect got away.
