- Description:
- This series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips begins with a Cobb County Police vehicle backing out of the driveway at the home of Bobby and Kyla Bennett. The next clip shows Kyla Bennett and several unidentified people standing outside the home next to another police vehicle. There is a brief clip of neighbors looking toward the activities, followed by a brief shot of the outside of the house. Next is Kyla Bennett walking toward the parked police vehicle with an unidentified woman; there are police officers in the background. The next clip shows investigators walking from the street toward the driveway, showing the house across the street. Two clips show various officers and others outside the home, with a shot of the back of the police car and two small dogs. The next clip shows the covered body of Mr. Bennett being removed on a gurney by two unidentified emergency personnel. The final clip is of the ambulance pulling out of the driveway, then going down the street. Bobby Bennett (born James Robert Bennett) and his wife were associated with a trucking company on Ashby Street in Atlanta. Mr. Bennett was found in the foyer of his home, shot in the head and back. Mrs. Bennett was suspected of arranging the murder.
