A man is dead after breaking a restraining order filed against him by his estranged wife. It happened in Laurel County late Sunday night.
Kentucky State Police say when Jesse Justice Jr. showed up with a machete at his wife's home his father-in-law shot and killed him.
Police reports show Justice had a history of domestic violence and an assault charge. His wife Edna Whitworth and her family had recently filed an domestic violence order against Justice that required he stay 500 ft away from her. The order did had not stopped Justice in the past.
Jail records show Justice, 46, was recently arrested for violating a domestic violence order three times. He was released from jail on May 16th for that offense. Sunday night DVO did not stop Justice once again-relatives say it was a good thing Edna's father was there.
"...He didn't expect to find Paul<Edna's father> there he expected to find Edna and the children and he got a surprise Paul was in the house," Charlotte Barnett, a relative of the Whithorths said.
Barnett says if Mr. Whitworth had not been at home she believes Justice would have killed Edna.
State police say no charges have been filed against Mr. Whitworth though the case will be presented to a grand jury.
