Jacqueline Bennett, 26
WI, Madison, Dane Co.
Jacqueline's murder has left her Son, age 7, and their Daughter, age 2, to grow up without their Mother in their lives & orphaned
Jacqueline was shot at close range in the chest and killed by her husband, Christopher Bennett, 24, in their home in Madison. He fatally shot himself about twenty minutes later.
They had been married since 2000, and were employed together. Neighbors reported hearing loud fighting on the day before the murder and shots that evening. The shots were not reported because they sounded far away to the neighbor who heard them.
Jacqueline’s seven year-old son found them when he wondered why they had not gotten up by 11 a.m. After Jacqueline’s young son found the body, he put shoes on his two year-old sister before taking her to the neighbor’s house to ask for help.
There was no known history of domestic violence. Prior to the homicide, family members knew nothing about problems between the couple. The gun used in the homicide was owned by Christopher and used for hunting. Prior to their marriage she had filed for financial support from Christopher for their daughter’s care.
