by

At a news conference Monday, the sheriff said Beaux Cormier had hired Andrew Eskine and Dalvin Wilson to murder a rape victim who would testify against him.

In a press release, the sheriff’s office said Cormier, 35, from Kaplan, Lousiana, Eskine, 25, from Carencro, Louisiana, and Wilson, 22, from Rayne, Louisiana, had traveled to Montegut, Louisiana to supervise the property. and, on a previous occasion, tried to carry out the murder, but failed.

Montegut is located about 110 miles southwest of New Orleans.

On January 13, Wilson went to the house in Montegut and asked by name about the victim of the rape. Brittany Cormier, Beaux’s sister, told the shooter it was her, trying to protect the victim, the sheriff said, noting that she “accepted her fate in order to save the actual victim’s life.”

Brittany Cormier was shot along with her neighbor, Hope Nettleton, who was visiting the house and tried to fend off the shooter, Soignet said. Both women died on the spot. According to the sheriff, neither woman was the person the suspects were hired for.

Beaux Cormier, Dalvin Wilson and Andrew Erskin (left to right) were each charged with first degree murder.

“We don’t get things like this happening, double murders, in Terrabonne Parish,” the sheriff said. “Especially Montegut, [it’s] is a small town. “

He added, “There were good people who eventually died.”

Beaux Cormier, Wilson and Eskine are each charged with two charges of first degree murder.

While Eskine was not at the scene of the crime, he is also charged with the murders for facilitating the vehicle and helping create the plan, the release said.

“This has hit that community really hard, so we’ve worked hard to bring peace to the families and the community,” the sheriff said of the arrests.

It is not known whether one of the suspects has a lawyer. The criminal complaint in the case is not yet available, the sheriff’s office told CNN.

The prosecutor wants to keep suspects off the street

Terrebonne Parish District Attorney Joseph Waitz told reporters he was planning a meeting with the victims before deciding whether to demand the death penalty in these cases, but said the death penalty is “absolutely on the table.”

According to prison records, all three suspects remain in the Terrebonne Sheriff’s office. They are each being held on a $ 2 million bond, Waitz said, adding that he is considering filing a motion to increase bond amounts to keep them behind bars.

“These are very dangerous people, I don’t want them on the street,” said the prosecutor.
