An evangelical preacher killed his wife several years ago and stuffed her body in a freezer after she caught him abusing their daughter, according to police and court documents.Anthony Hopkins, 37, was arrested Monday night at the Inspirational Tabernacle Church of God in Christ in Jackson, Alabama, just after he had delivered a sermon to a congregation that included his seven other children, officials said.
He faces charges including murder, rape, sodomy, sexual abuse and incest.Hopkins was denied bail Thursday when he appeared before Mobile County District Judge George Hardesty. The case is set for arraignment next week, Hardesty’s clerk said.The case began Monday, when the daughter, now 19, went to the Mobile Police Department’s Child Advocacy Center and reported that she had been sexually abused by Hopkins since she was 11 years old, according to an affidavit filed in support of a search warrant of the preacher’s home in Mobile.
The affidavit related the daughter’s story as follows:
Her mother, Arletha Hopkins, 36, caught her father abusing her in a bathroom in November 2004. Afterward, her parents argued, and her mother locked her father out of the house. The father came to the daughter’s window and asked her to let him in, and she did so.
The next morning, her father asked her to help him hide her mother’s body in the freezer in the laundry room of the home.
The girl said she moved out of the home about two weeks ago and was living with a neighbor. She told police that her mother’s body was still in the freezer.
Wow. Crazy, right?
WTF….. What is the world coming to? People are so freaking stupid…Now why would he do something like that? To his own daughter….That is just sick
And to kill his wife because he was wrong… Then have the nerve to go and preach the Lords word… He is going to burn in HELLLL….
And leave her in the freezer with his whole family there smh
So i’m guessin he has 8 children total…I wonder if they were all abused. He -broke- the 10 commandments. And seriously why let your dad back in when your mother was saving you from his abuse…What a day
Stockholm Syndrome Jamasian. Wiki it, tell me what you think.
I have mixed feelings over the whole Stockholm thing. It’s one thing when people are fighting for a cause (say slavery) and you get kidnapped b/c you’ve seen some shit you weren’t supposed to, but quite another to be abused like this and to let the mofo back in. Granted, she was a kid…do they always know better? I just don’t know. Like Carol said, dude’s gonna burn in hell.
Randomly though, he kinda reminds me of Jerry Rice.
Lol @ the Jerry Rice insert.
WHOA. Incest and murder? WHOA.
Ima…you know us. Always gotta insert some random shit in that is totally irrelevant. LOL
