Murder Story

On October 2, 1997, in Jefferson County, Kentucky, Roger Lamont Wheeler killed Nigel Malone and Nairobi Warfield. Both victims were found in their shared apartment. Detectives discovered bloodstains throughout the apartment, indicating a violent struggle.

Nigel Malone was found in the hallway near the bathroom. He had been stabbed nine times, with two wounds to the chest being fatal. The medical examiner suggested that the fight had begun in the kitchen and moved to the hallway where Malone was found.

Nairobi Warfield was three months pregnant at the time of her death. She was found in the bedroom, where she had been strangled and stabbed. A pair of scissors was still embedded in her neck. Medical evidence indicated that she had multiple bruises and abrasions, and she was positioned against a wall with a blanket covering her.

Blood samples collected at the scene matched Wheeler's, leading detectives to suspect him. Initially, Wheeler denied being inside the apartment, but later changed his story, saying he was present during the events. He claimed that Malone was already stabbed when he arrived and that another person had attacked him.

Wheeler was charged with the murders of both victims and was convicted by a jury. He received the death penalty for his actions, as the killings were deemed intentional and resulted in multiple deaths. His trial began in February 2001, and the judge highlighted the deliberate nature of the murders.
