McDONOUGH — Jacob Cole Kosky allegedly told friends he wanted to rob and possibly kill someone two days before he is suspected of murdering four people at a Jackson home, according to testimony heard in Henry County Magistrate Court last week.
In a preliminary hearing for co-defendant Matthew Baker on Dec. 7, Detective David LeCroy with the Henry County Police Department said Kosky expressed his desire to commit a crime while speaking with friends at Brooke Knight’s house Oct. 25.
