Two of the couple’s daughters, aged 15 and 11, have been charged with the premeditated murder of their older brother in their Colombia County home after they and their 3-year-old sister were left to fend for themselves when their parents, Keith and Misty Kornegay, left town.
It is believed that the two sisters used a handgun, which they took from their parent’s bedroom, to shoot and kill their older brother, who was found by police on the living room floor, after the girls themselves tipped off a local police officer.
Following the horrifying incident, the family’s youngest child has been put in the care of a child protection agency.
Due to their age, the accused have not been charged as adults in the case.
A motive for the murder has yet to be established.
