Decades Later Justice Seeks Resolution in DeKalb County Sibling Murder Trial

• Share on:

The trial of Kenneth Perry, 55, accused of murdering siblings John and Pamela Sumpter in DeKalb County on July 15, 1990, has begun, more than 30 years after the stabbings. Perry faces multiple charges, including malice murder and rape, with evidence from a rape kit and forensic genetic genealogy linking him to the crime. Prosecutors are seeking justice for the Sumpter family, while Perry's attorney argues that the evidence is circumstantial and does not definitively prove his client's guilt.
