An Indiana mother and three daughters tragically lost their lives in what appears to be murder-suicide.
The bodies of Rebecca Hughes, 32, and the three children, Evelyn Newell, 8, Allison Newell, 6, and Amelia Newell, 5, were discovered following a welfare check.
According to the statement issued by the Indiana State Police, “On September 17, 2024, at approximately 11:20 a.m., officers with the Wolcottville Police Department were dispatched to conduct a welfare check at a residence in the 100 block of South Main Street in Wolcottville, IN. While at this residence officers located a deceased adult female and three children that were also deceased. After making this discovery, the Indiana State Police was contacted.
Further, they said “there is not a threat to the public.”
The exact cause of death is yet to be determied.
The children’s father, Jonathan Newell, has set a GoFundMe page to help him with the funeral costs.
In an update, the grieving father thanked everyone who donated, expressing his gratitude and saying that his three beautiful angels were laid to rest.
We are so very sorry for this tragic loss.
