Olaolukitan Abel accused of double murder in US

A 26-year-old British-born man, Olaolukitan Adon Abel, has been accused of killing two women and injuring a homeless man in what authorities described as random attacks in the United States.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, the suspect allegedly carried out the attacks in Georgia, leaving two victims dead and another critically injured.

Authorities said Adon Abel allegedly shot dead Prianna Weathers, 31, outside a restaurant in the early hours of Monday before opening fire on a 49-year-old homeless man who was sleeping outside a supermarket.

He is also accused of later stabbing and shooting Lauren Bullis, 40, as she walked her dog.

Police described the incidents as “completely random” and “acts of pure evil.”

The report stated that the suspect grew up in a middle-class home in north London before relocating to the United States around 2019.

He later joined the United States Navy in 2020 but was discharged after being convicted in 2024 for assaulting police officers and another individual.

Court records also show he pleaded guilty in 2025 to multiple counts of sexual battery.

Investigators said the violence began in DeKalb County, near Atlanta, before the suspect reportedly drove across multiple locations carrying out the attacks.

He was eventually arrested in Troup County and remains in custody, facing charges including two counts of murder, aggravated assault and firearms offences.

A brother of the suspect, who lives in Atlanta, expressed sympathy for the victims, describing the incident as “a horrible thing,” according to the report.
