Rapist Hires Hitmen To Kill Victim, Thugs Kill His Own Sister And Neighbour Instead

A suspected rapist hired two men to kill his victim to prevent her from testifying against him in court. However, the two hired hitmen ended up killing his sister and neighbour instead.

The double murder was confirmed by Sheriff Timothy Soignet of Terrebonne Parish in Louisiana, United States on Monday.

The WBRZ reports that The two women who were shot to death were attempting to protect the rape victim and fight off the killers. The killing happened at a home in Montegut in mid-January.

Officials say Beaux Cormier hired two men, 22-year-old Dalvin Wilson and 25-year-old Andrew Eskine to murder the victim. All three men face charges in the double killing and are in jail.

Authorities say Wilson arrived at the home on Jan. 13 where he encountered Cormier’s sister Brittany, who told the shooter she was the rape victim likely in an attempt to save the real victim.

The shooter shot and killed Cormier, and a second woman, who was also in the home, 37-year-old Hope Nettleton. Officials say Nettleton attempted to fight off the shooter.

“The shooter asking for the rape victim by name, and Brittany Cormier tells the shooter she’s the rape victim, accepting her fate to save the life of the victim,” Soignet said. “There were good people that ended up dying… it’s really hit that community hard.”

Sheriff Soignet says Nettleton was Brittany Cormier’s neighbor and happened to be at the residence at the time of Wilson’s arrival.

Cormier has been arrested for third-degree rape of a family member and likely faced a substantial sentence if convicted as a registered sex offender, according to the sheriff’s office.

All three of the suspects were arrested and have a $2 million bond.

“The death penalty is definitely on the table,” District Attorney Joe Waitz Jr. said
