I’ve had several long days at work or most likely would have had this up several days ago. As a matter of fact I think this is my first post since Wednesday.
Back in January 2008 a 911 call from Austell had police respond to the home of Marvin and Charlotte Wells. Police found blood spatters and smears all around the house. They finally came to 16-year-old Marlisa Wells, dead in the bathroom with a bent fork sticking out of her back.
When police searched the home where Marlisa’s boyfriend lived, 21-year-old Mathew Wilkins, they found clothing hidden in the attic covered in what turned out to be Marlisa’s blood. Wilkins killed her by stabbing her repeatedly, slamming her head against the toilet and finally driving a fork into her back.
During the time in which the two were in their illicit relationship Wilkins was abusive toward Marlisa. MySpace messages such as ‘gonna kill you’ would be left from Wilkins, he would curse at her, treating her like a piece of meat.
A jury in Cobb County, GA found Mathew Wilkins guilty of Murder this week for the murder. His sentencing is to be next week and he faces a minimum of life in prison.
