The community is mourning the loss of a beloved beautician and her son after an apparent double suicide yesterday in the Cowpen area. According to the Kentucky State Police, they were called to Haynes Village around noon yesterday to investigate the shooting of Lisa Haynes and her son Anthony Newman.

Pike County Coroner Russell Roberts stated that both died of apparent gun shots to the head. Arraignments for the pair are being handled by J.W. Call and son Funeral home and are incomplete at this time. The incident remains under investigation by the Kentucky State Police.
