Jury Recommends Execution Of Columbus Man Found Guilty In Fatal Stabbings Of Daughter And Mother

Columbus Division of Police

A Franklin County jury has recommended the death penalty for a Columbus man convicted earlier this month of killing his 4-year-old daughter and her mother last year. 

26-year-old Kristofer Garrett is scheduled for sentencing on August  22nd. Prosecutors say he killed 34-year-old Nicole Duckson and their daughter outside of their Fleet Road home.  His attorneys say Garrett is mentally ill, and the product of an abusive, neglectful childhood.
