In the quiet community of Taylorsville, Kentucky, the life of Mark Kevin Bennett, a 51-year-old White/Caucasian male, was abruptly cut short on the evening of Sunday, April 16, 2017. A graduate of the University of Louisville Speed School and a dedicated employee of United Parcel Service for 33 years, he was a father to two daughters. That evening, a call about a shooting brought Kentucky State Police to his residence on Clinton Court.
Inside the garage of his home, authorities discovered Mark Bennett, who had sustained a fatal gunshot wound. The investigation into his death quickly pointed to his wife, 40-year-old Kandy Bennett. While the specific details of the events leading up to the shooting were not immediately released, it was noted that law enforcement had been called to the Bennett residence in the past for domestic issues, hinting at a troubled history.
In a significant development, Kandy Bennett turned herself in to the authorities without incident. She was subsequently arrested and charged with the murder of her husband. Following her arrest, she was held on a $250,000 bail as the Kentucky State Police continued their investigation, piecing together the circumstances that led to the tragic death of Mark Bennett. The community was left to grapple with the shocking news of a life lost under such violent circumstances.
