ATHENS, Ga. (WKRC) –  Teenager allegedly confessed to beating his own grandmother to death inside a church she attended, with her body later being discovered in the holy building. Could it be at your church?

Police were dispatched to Smith Chapel Holiness Church at around 5:45 p.m. on October 29 after family members discovered 73-year-old Ollie Hamilton dead inside of the church, according to The Independent. The victim was reportedly found near an area that led to the kitchen, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators said they found evidence linking Ollie’s 17-year-old grandson, Jadynn Hamilton, to the crime. “The longer the investigation went, evidence started pointing in a certain direction,” Sheriff Kevin Crook said during a press conference obtained by the Monroe Journal.

“A young man had supposedly gone for help early on after the attack. We ended up bringing him in last night, and he confessed to the crime.” Authorities did not explain Hamilton’s motive and noted that he had no prior run-ins with law enforcement.
