Family: Dad Shoots Twin Babies to Death in Mom's Arms, Critically Injures Her, Kills Her Father

A mother lies hospitalized in critical condition after the father of her twin baby girls shot them to death in her arms, and then killed the woman’s dad, according to her family.

Ultimately, Gawain Rushane Wilson turned the weapon on himself and died at the scene, authorities said.

Read: Man Kills Ex-Girlfriend, Her 1-Year-old Daughter Before fleeing Toward Mexico: Police

The carnage took place in the Jacksonville, Florida, home of Travis Hiatt, the twin’s grandfather. His daughter, Megan, and her five-month-old girls Hayden and Kayden, had been living with him, authorities said, according to local reports.

Wilson allegedly entered the home and forced his estranged girlfriend to pick up the babies.

“He wanted to destroy her world,” the woman’s mother, Melissa Bateh, told First Coast News about last week’s devastation. “He wanted her to watch it be destroyed.”

Bateh said her 22-year-old daughter told her, “Mama, he killed them. He killed them in my arms. He made me hold them when he killed them. He made me watch.”

Jacksonville Sheriff’s deputies declined comment when reached by INSIDE EDITION Thursday evening.

Bateh said her daughter had to crawl through her infants’ blood to reach her father, who was dying on the floor. “He wanted her to tell her brother that he was the best son ever and he loved him.”

The mother said she had misgivings about her daughter’s relationship with Wilson, who she described as threatening and controlling.

He would limit Megan’s contact with family and friends and take away her cell phone, Bateh said.

“As a parent, you know,” she said. “I knew in my gut their relationship was not healthy.”

These dippy young women just HAVE to have this or that boyfriend. They hang on to them like a toddler clutches stuffed animals. They hang on to the despite what their friends and family say. They make excuses for their bad behavior. Then, to top it off, they have kids with these losers, making it more difficult to end the relationship, and tying themselves to these losers through the children even if they can get out of the romantic relationship.

It makes me angry that they don't once stop to think--at least not with the organ on top of their neck.

I don't think it is always clear husker. I think a lot of these men are very charming on the outset and they don't realize until it is too late.

It's clear if their friends and family are seeing it. They just don't want to believe it.  Like I said, they don't listen to their family, they make excuses.  It's pretty clear to everyone else.

I agree. However, the victim didnt' commit those actions. The perp needs to be held fully accountable for their actions.

Guess that'll teach her.

She will have to live with that.  It's a terrible consequence--unfortunately, her father and children won't get the chance to "live" with it.

Could she have predicted this outcome? Of course not.

However, was he a controlling jerk long before this--before she had kids with him? Undoubtedly yes.

Did her parents and probably friends warn her about him long before this incident? Yes.

No, you can't predict you are with a homicidal ps.ych0path, but you know darn well if you are with a jerk that your parents and friends see a lot of red flags with.

Being a jerk and a homicidal maniac are 2 different things. Most people don't expect that someone is capable of that. Kind of like knowing that a Pitbull has never bitten and killed, until it actually does. Then, everyone protests, oh well it was such a nice dog, blah, blah.

You know what, husker?
I've had it with your attitude.
You are blaming the victim of a horrific instance of domestic violence.
I wish you'd go do something anatomically unlikely instead.

You don't know a damn thing about this woman or what led her to this devastating place in her life.

While I don't agree with blaming the victim to the extent husker is, there is some truth to what he is saying. A non related male is more likely to murder a child not related to him (but related to his current girlfriend) than any other person. There are some schools of thought that say it's biological - from a time when resources were scarce and men couldn't take care of children that were not theirs, they were seen as a threat to their own survival. I am not saying he isn't responsible. He is 100% responsible for his actions. But women who invite men into their home, around their children, should wait to do so until they get a ring or a marriage license.

 Husker, you hit the nail on the head.  But you left out the factor that this is how they were raised themselves.

Yep. And not just young women. A friend of mine is putting a sex offender ahead of her children. She is educated ....a nurse.... I thought a good mother.
But now her estranged husband wont give her girls back....she still wont stop seeing him.
Because he makes her vajayjay happy. 
Stupid stupid stupid.

The killer in this story is to blame of course but yes....no doubt there were plenty of red flags to make her perhaps say hey....lets not have kids with this guy....

Why are you all blaming these girls? Yes they made terrible decisions but it's these ************ men who are doing this. Let's blame these little ******** bag men. When you try to make it about the girls, no matter how bad their decisions are, it's the men who've done this. I get that it's easier to blame them than the actual perpetrators because we just can't understand them. We all know women AND men who make bad decisions but you never hear the same blame for the men because it's not women killing their boyfriends children people!

 Why?  Because they know they are involved with bad boys and bad people all around. They enjoy the excitement of the bad lifestyle, then cry when something terrible happens.  As parents we have the responsibility to keep our kids safe, and that includes keeping bad people out of their lives, as in you don't invite those bad people in.

A lot of these young women don't come from the best homes. So, they wind up getting involved with bad men. It is easy for bad men to prey on vulnerable young women.

 What the what?  most women in abuse relationships witnessed their mothers being involved in abusive relationships. 

I don't follow your logic here.

Were you referring to my logic or the logic that says blame the women for making bad decisions while not totally holding these ****** accountable for their own actions. Yes I know they made a bad choice but I'm sure they never imagined these scumbags would do something so awful. Why don't we blame the men when their bad choices kill their children (oh yeah because that doesn't happen any where near as frequently)? Women have been and probably always will be held to a higher standard than men.

 Husker has a point though. Some women routinely make piss poor choices in guys and completely ignore any and all warnings from family and friends. At some point, the woman is responsible for her role in having the douche of a guy in her kids' life. Of course, him killing the kids is absolutely unacceptable. But, when she refuses to remove the guy from her kids' lives, she becomes culpable if something happens to those kids.

The women who see the warning signs and leave are, imo, blameless if the guy kills the kids. She did her part in removing the guy from her kids' lives. But the ones who DON'T leave? Well, had they left, their kids may still be alive.

You are right--but why have a relationship, and kids--with an abusive a-hole?

Well, we do know a few things.

A.  He was a controlling jerk.

B.  People in her life--chiefly her parents--didn't want her to date this guy.

C.  She chose to stay in that relationship and have kids with him, anyway.

 

Sure, the guy who fired the gun is responsible for the deaths--but he is dead. Even in cases where the guy doesn't kill himself, we can put him in jail or even give out the death penalty.

 

That doesn't bring back her father or her children.

But I would rather prevent this than punish after the fact.  In this case, the guy killed himself--so he has met with the ultimate punishment in some way--but that won't bring back her father and kids.

 

Punishment is after the fact.  Prevention would be good.

That's BS.  The reason you don't hear about women killing their boyfriend's children is because it doesn't happen that much.  A man can date loser women and the consequences are not as great.

Sure, we can put all the laws in place that we want to in order to punish those who commit such crimes--but criminals break the law.  Such laws don't prevent a damn thing.  They can only come into the play after the fact.

What do you suggest for prevention? Honest to god I think some here a freaking stupid. Do you know how hard it is to get a restraining order against one of these idiots? And all that does is say if he does something else stupid THEN they can arrest him. Our women's shelter is constantly full. And you can't stay there but for a very very short time. Like days to a two weeks. How many of you could rebuild your total life in two weeks? Oh, and after the divorce? You think the abuse stops? WTFever. Then it just becomes him using the kids against her. Oh, and let me tell you from real life experience, even a guy who has abused his kids has the opportunity to have visitation with his kids until he proves he won't abuse them again. By then it might be too late. We've had three cases here in the last six months where fathers had legal custody of their children and killed them while on visitation.

Not saying a woman shouldn't leave but grow up and stop acting like she just needs to walk away and pull out the wad of money she has saved up and get on with her life. Because we all know the majority of women in this position are isolated and not allowed to work outside the home just for this very reason.

 You make my point exactly. Yes men can date losers and you blame the women. Women can date losers and you blame the women. Are you seeing a pattern here husker because I sure do. It's that whole men can't control themselves thing you seem to believe. Whether it's a sister in law hitting on you or killing children it's always some one else fault if it's a man.

What do I suggest???  How about listening to parents and friends who point out all the red flags from the jump?

How about ending the relationship before you procreate with the guy?

Plus, this girl was NOT "isolated".  She had her father helping her--and it got him killed.

 It makes me angry that you seem to blame these women more than you blame the men. Surely there are men who make bad decisions about women yet you don't hear about these women killing their boyfriends children. Look to the real reason this is happening and stop blaming the women. sheesh


That's BS.  The reason you don't hear about women killing their boyfriend's children is because it doesn't happen that much.  A man can date loser women and the consequences are not as great.

Sure, we can put all the laws in place that we want to in order to punish those who commit such crimes--but criminals break the law.  Such laws don't prevent a damn thing.  They can only come into the play after the fact.   


 You make my point exactly. Yes men can date losers and you blame the women. Women can date losers and you blame the women. Are you seeing a pattern here husker because I sure do. It's that whole men can't control themselves thing you seem to believe. Whether it's a sister in law hitting on you or killing children it's always some one else fault if it's a man.


Men are to blame for dating losers, too. However, the consequences for doing so are rarely as dire.

 

It's the man's fault here for killing his kids and her father--but so what?  Again, punishment is AFTER THE FACT.  It does no good to the dead to punish people.  They are already dead.

Husker, are you TRYING to be disgusting? Because it is working. I can't believe what you are writing here.


I'm writing that she should have listened to her parents and not dated this guy--and certainly not had kids with him.

I don't see how you can even argue the opposite.  

 

Are you saying it's a GOOD idea to date a controlling abuser?  That it's a good idea to ignore all the red flags about the guy--including what others so obviously see?  That it's a good idea to procreate with him?

 Where exactly do you get that in this story?  Nobody may have seen it until she was already pregnant.  All the mother said was she had misgivings - not that she communicated them or tried to get her don't to break up or anything even remotely similar.

Not all these "idiots" are idiots when the women meet them. Some are kind and caring and show great traits. It's not just the women. A lot of families really like the abuser too. Until he isolates her and starts abusing her. You really have no concept of what abuse is, how it happens, and how it totally takes over your life. You seem to think they all start hitting the woman on the first date. Not so. Usually they're quite charming and nice. Until they aren't. Usually by then it's too late.

The mother said they all saw some red flags.  I highly doubt they kept them to themselves.  He was "threatening and controlling"--so even if mom and dad didn't do more than give subtle hints, it should have been apparent.  

 

Also, let's say in THIS ONE case the remote chance that they saw all this behavior and said nothing is true.  That is not the case most of the time. Most of the time parents let their kids know.

 Sometimes--but not the case here. 

Unless she got pregnant in the first few months of the relationship (which I realize is a possibility)--it certainly would have become apparent before she got pregnant.  Again, unless she got pregnant in the first few months--which is unwise in and of itself even if he's a great guy.

 So what? You find a way to blame the women no matter WHAT. It doesn't matter how or when the men get punished and just because someone's dead doesn't mean the guy gets a pass. You can minimize what these animals do but it only makes you look like a sympathizer. Blaming the women makes you look like a women hater. That you don't see it is just wrong.

Many abusive men are very good at being charming and hiding their ways until it is too late.
