Ga. man jailed after confessing he stabbed his wife 6/16/2009 12:10 AM
By KAREN DAILY Staff writer
A Georgia man has been jailed on allegations he confessed to stabbing his wife in Lithonia, Ga., late Sunday and then reportedly driving nearly three hours before stopping in Aiken to take her for treatment, officials said.
Kenneth Hines, 54, of Lithonia, Ga., is being held at the Aiken County detention center for aggravated assault with a weapon and kidnapping.
His wife, Laverne P. Hines, 46, is recovering at Aiken Regional Medical Centers, officials said.
She was in fair condition late Monday.
About 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aiken Public Safety officers were called to the hospital where the victim was being treated.
An Aiken County EMS supervisor told the officer that the 46-year-old woman had been stabbed several times.
He said he understood that Kenneth Hines left with his wife after the stabbing and then contacted Georgia officials to confess and surrender.
Aiken Public Safety Lt. David Turno said Monday he does not know why the Georgia man drove for nearly three hours before surrendering. He said the stabbing reportedly occurred in Georgia before 8 p.m.
The Georgia couple arrived in Aiken about 10:30 p.m.
Once in Aiken, Kenneth Hines told Aiken police that his wife was trying to divorce him and take the house, although the officer noted in his report that the man's story changed several times.
He said he was downstairs at their Lithonia home earlier in the evening when they began arguing.
He grabbed a large knife, claiming at first that he wanted to stab himself but then said he was only able to injure himself, according to officials.
He told the officer that he went upstairs and began stabbing his wife in their bathroom.
After stabbing her repeatedly, he told Aiken police he put her into their Lexus and began to head east on I-20.
On his way, he called the Georgia authorities and confessed, police said.
He took his wife to the Aiken hospital. It is unclear if Georgia officials convinced the man to stop or if he did so on his own accord.
Once in Aiken, he told Aiken police he had gone to a friend's house to borrow a gun at first, but no one would let him have one. He said he grabbed a knife instead.
Georgia officials will extradite the Lithonia man.

Comment Title: God Your People Need You!
My name is Johnathan Banks, not that it matters. My fiancee and I have been attending Covenant Ministries since we moved back to Atlanta from New York. Even though we are not members at the church YET, we do enjoy the "realness", and love expressed from Bishop Carswell and the CHARISMATIC and ENERGETIC worship experience at the Covenant Church. Never in my life have I, nor my wife-to-be ever experienced such a TRANSPARENT PREACHER who is not afraid to tell what he's been through and how God has delivered him though His salvation. We always thought Pastors and Bishops where reserved men that could not be touched until we met Bishop Carswell! (LOL! and we love you Bishop for keeping it real!)I have sat almost every Sunday under Bishop's teaching, and honestly have been compelled to get closer with God. Every Sunday there are close to a thousand or more people that pack that church out, but the Bishop never hesitates to hug and talk with ALL of his members. Honestly he reminds me of a good friend that is interested in getting me acquainted with an even better friend, which is Jesus. I am saddened at this tragedy. Bishop almost every Sunday lifts Sis. Hines as well as everyone else up in prayer. Covenant is a GREAT church, with GREAT people. True, every Church has its problems (anytime you get alot of Black folks together in one place, there's going to be some type of issue.)When I first walked in those heavy white doors I sensed love, and friendship and I found it!! My fiancee and I feel apart of a BIG FAMILY!! To all of those with the negative comments toward Covenant and the Bishop, know that we are praying for you that you understand YOUR relationship with God, because if you are really a child of God, some these comments don't exemplify it! I can't tell if it's out of the hatred for what Bro. Hines did, or if you are using this board as a medium to bad mouth Bishop Carswell and Covenant because you are no longer acquainted with the church. None of us knows what happens in the PRIVACY of peoples homes. There's no way the Bishop would have know what the Hines were going though. He's not at fault, nor is Covenant! Those that have left Covenant, for whatever reason and feel it necessary to dog the church and the man of God, I beg you as your future brother in Christ, COME BACK! I believe I can speak on the behalf of my Covenant Partners when I say WE LOVE You STILL! If not, for every hundred that moves away as one ANONYMOUS person said on here, God sends 200! (and that's obvious every time I walk in the Cathedral) I LOVE YOU BISHOP, FUTURE PASTOR CARSWELL, FIRST FAMILY, AND THE ENTIRE COVENANT FAMILY! oh, and I'll be in church 3rd Sunday!

Comment Title: UNDERSTANDING IS THE BEST POLICY
YES WE MUST FORGIVE IF WE WANT GOD TO FORGIVE US.BUT ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES ON SUNDAY BISHOP TALKED OF WHAT HE WENT THROUGH IN HIS PASS ,THAT MAYBE IT WOULD HELP SOMEONE ALONG THE WAY AND I BELIEVE IT HAS ,SOME HOW.BUT EACH TIME HE GAVE HIS TESTIMONY HE WOULD BRING KENNY UP AND SAID HE WAS ALWAYS THERE WITH HIM WHEN HE FELL IN THE WRONG PATH. THAT'S THE CONNECTION WE ARE REMEMBERING .ONE SUNDAY HE BROUGHT LAVERN AND KENNY BEFORE THE CHURCH AND TALK WITH THEM ABOUT SOME OF THE TROUBLE THAT THEY WERE GOING THROUGH IN THEIR MARRIAGE AND TO TRY TO LEAVE OUTSIDERS OUT AND KEEP GOD IN,BUT THE DEVIL IS POWERFUL TOO.NO BISHOP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR EITHER OF THEIR ACTIONS,ALL HE COULD DO WAS LIFT THEM UP IN PRAYER AS I PRAY HE IS DOING.HE EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS ONE SUNDAY HOW HE FELT ABOUT IT ,WHAT HE WOULD AND WOULD NOT DO.SOME OF US AGREED AND SOME DIDN'T.WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE HIS OPINIONS.HE HAS A SON AND A DAUGHTER ,THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH LIFE PROBLEMS AS WELL,HE CAN DIRECT THEM BUT HE CAN'T HOLD THEIR HAND,SO HE USES HIS PRAYERS FOR GOD TO GUIDE THEM THROUGH LIFE.GOD HAS FORGAVE KENNY AND LAVERN AND SO SHOULD WE."WHAT IS LAVERN GUILTY OF"? AS BISHOP SAY WE ALL ARE AN "EX SOMETHING".AS AN EX ABUSE WIFE WHEN IT GETS TO THE POINT OF THE HINES EVENT.WHERE THE WIFE PLAY A PART IN IT IS KEEP FORGIVING HIM FOR PREVIOUS ABUSE AND KEEPING IT TO HERSELF UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.LOVE IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HURT IN ANY WAY OR FORM.I BELIEVE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE USING THIS TO VOICE THERE OPINION ABOUT BISHOP,BECAUSE THEY HAD NO OTHER WAY,WITHOUT HAVING HIM ACT OUT ON THEM AS HE HAS WITH OTHER MEMBERS THAT HAVE WENT TO HIM.I HAVE BEEN WITH HIM SINCE OLD FOURTHWARD,I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.YES I LEFT FOR A WHILE ,BUT I CAME BACK BECAUSE I FORGAVE HIM FOR SOME THING HE DID TO MY FAMILY.HE IS A HUMAN FIRST, SO HE IS ALLOWED MISTAKES AS WELL. HE IS NOT PERFECT BY ANY MEANS.HE TEACHES US A LOT AND WE EACH LOVE HIM IN OUR ON WAY.THERE IS PROBLEMS IN EVERY CHURCH,BUT WHEN YOU PUT YOUR BUSINESS OUT THERE IT BECOMES THE PUBLIC.WE THE MEMBERS OF C.M, FORGIVE ALL OF YOU AND TRULY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE ENTITLE TO YOUR OPINIONS AND WE LOVE YOU TOO.

YOU KNOW IT IS SAD TO HEAR ABOUT BAD THNGS ANY DAY. BUT YOU KNOW IT IS ALSO SAD TO HEAR THE WAY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE BISHOP AND HIS MEMBERS. EVFERYBODY THAT WROTE NEGATIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD BE ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAYING, EVERYBODY MAKE MISTAKES LIKE SOMEONE SAD LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND THEN DECIDE IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN YOURSELF. LEAVE BISHOP CARSWELL AND HIS PARTNERS ALONE. SOMETHING ALWAYS IS HAPPEN AT CHURCHES BUT YOU KNOW THIS ONE JUST GOT OUT. YOU ALL NEED TO PRAY BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE SKELTONS IN OUR CLOSET. LAVERENE & KENNY I AM PRAYING FOR YOU BOTH AND ASKING THE LORD TO FORGIVE YOU BOTH. LAVERENE I HAVE WORN YOUR SHOES 4B AND I FORGAVE THE PERSON, I WENT THRU HELL AND BACK BUT IN THE SAME TIME I FOUND THAT WONDERFUL MAN (LORD) WHO SHOW ME HOW TO FORGIVE AND BE AT PIECE. I KNOW YOU BOTH CAN DO THAT, AND LEARN TO LOVE AND NOT HATE. BECAUSE I HATED THAT MAN BECAUSE HE CARED ME THRU IT. BUT NOW I CAN SAY THAT I AM GLAD THAT I DID NOT END OF SOMEWHERE ELSE. BUT JUST REMEBER THAT THE LORD IS ON YOUR SIDE AND HE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE THINGS ALL RIGHT FOR YOU AND KENNY. ( DONT HATE HIM) HE WILL BE ALL RIGHT TO. AS FOR ME I LEARN THAT THE PEOPLE I WAS THINKING AND TELLING OUR BUSINESS TO WERE FRIENDS. OF COURSE THEY WERE MEMBERS OF YOUR CHURCH BUT I HAD TO GET DOWN AND MY KNEES AND PRAY BECAUSE I WAS SCARED AT TIMES BUT WE LOVE YOU AND WHOM EVERY IS READYING THIS LEAVE BISHOP OUT OF IT BECAUSE HE CANNOT MAKE NOBODY DO NOTHING, HE IS A MAN JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

Comment Title: Shut the hell up!
It sickens me to read these ridiculous comments from so called "Christians." Quoting this and that from the "Bible." Get real! This woman was damn near stabbed to death! Her husband was charged with the responsibility of loving, providing, and protecting her, instead, he tried to kill her. No matter what led up to the incident, he had no right to do this to her. No one deserves this. No man nor woman is perfect or free from sin, maybe some of you should stop calling yourself "Christians." If being a christian involves being a hipocrite, slanderer or coward, then that religion is truly not for me! Those negative comments should have never been made, you deserve to be jailed your damn self for making such idiotic comments.

Comment Title: He Cares
God is always in control of our lives and in everything we do. At an unfortunate, tragic time this, God continued to wrap his loving arms around Laverne to protect her from harm. "No weapon formed against Laverne shall prosper." Thank God she made it. As long as she continues to walk in the path of God, she will ALWAYS prosper in life. Laverne, we love you and we miss you. Get Well Soon.

Comment Title: Who is without sin, please cast your stone first.
Who can judge? Our hearts are grieved,our spirits wounded,our minds are in disbelief. These are people we love and our hearts goes out to them. It could have been your, mother, sister,father,son, your friend, your loved one. These are stessful times and it is unfortunate people act without thinking. The negative comments I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. You can blame your parents for how you look but you can't blame them for how you turned out. Nor does your church and certainly not your Bishop should be responsible. We are not exempt from crime, pain, hurt, disappointment, shattered lives and broken dreams, its called life. We can only pray and pray again. You never know when heartache and sorrow will knock on your door. Evang. C.Johnson

You may be able to post your comments. But god is the begining and the end. You can say negative things because you don't have a clue to what is next. So to say bad things don't say anything at all. Makes alot of since to me. I wish Laverne the best and God speed with all that you have indured. God Bless you and you know that the negative will be negative and the postive will be so. Make the HATER!!! Your MOTIVATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Comment Title: The Last Supper
I am quite saddened to hear that this tragic event has occurred. My heart grieves for Laverne and for Kenny. Obviously, there was a lot of their discord in their home. However, violence is never the answer. But remember...there are three sides to every story; Your side, My side, and the Truth. I did spend several years in close contact with Kenny. He was not a violent person. Therefore, I truly believe that his behavior was provoked by passion, rage, anger, and an inability to control his emotions. I am praying for Kenny. As for his wife, I pray for her complete healing. As for Covenant Ministries....I used to attend this church often several years ago. I strongly beseech its members to BE REAL about GOD. Seek his face. Christ designed the church to be more than deacons and their wives wearing matching suits on Sunday. Bishop Carswell...."practice what you preach!" Your flock is crying out for help, not just a charasmatic sermon on Sunday morning. Your members are watching you. May God have mercy on us all.

It's very sad about what happern both of them are good people my heart goes out to them.I use to go the same church,the government shold investigate the bishop and administrator the church is not right, a lot of cheating and underhand things are going on there the reason the bishop don't say anything is because he is doing the same thing.

Comment Title: Very Disappointed
You know this is a SAD situation for both people. To know that I was a member of Covenant Ministries and to read the comments that I reading is even worser.This is why the Devil gets a hold of people, it's because folks like yall that bashes other people.Know one really know what was going on in their homes.And if so it's still not your business if they both were commiting a sin. They both need prayer and Jesus remember things happen in your life for reason! Remember they bashed Jesus but he didn't HATE them for it. He knew they knew not what they were doing!! If you are truly a God's people stop this madness it's STUPID! I hope Laverne is recovering o.k and she will be alright. And for Kenny he needs help somewhere his strength and anger got the best of him (DEVIL) but he will be o.k as well. God said ask for FORGIVENESS and he will forgive. My heart and prayers goes out to both families this is truly a hard time for you. But got is in control and will forgive them both for they sins whatever it maybe. How about asking for forgiveness for yours? A former a very disappointed ex- covenat member. :( this is why I left and many others as well. You need to get it together BISHOP God's children are straying AWAY!!

Parks you need to watch out for some opf the evil in your church. Christians would never gossip like some of your church members are doing. I don't give a damn about what was going on in your relationship. No one has the right to bring harm to anybody. And for all yall haters out there, Laverne is one of the sweetest lady I know. You can't help but love her. Whoever is hating, talking about they both were cheating, you must have been the one sleeping with Kenny and now you are mad that done lost your "CUT BUDDY". Laverne, I love you and you make sure you get well soon.

This is for all the HIPOCRITIAL COVENANT MINISTRIES CHRISTIAN IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA. What type of Christians are you making such comments and Quote the BIBLE!! Are you SANTANS WARRIORS’? If this doesn’t apply …not need to be offended! As far as the so called friends, airing their dirty laundry at such a time as this, aren’t true friends. With friends like this they don’t need any enemies! Regardless of allegations of her sleeping/dating her ex doesn’t give anyone the right to try to take anyone LIFE. We must pray for this family not STONE them to death with or words.

Comment Title: Stabbing
For everyone who said that she was cheating on her husband. Stop and Think before you judge anyone. Stop being soooo judgemental. There are no reason on this earth that will make a man stab his wife multiple times. My heart goes out to the family of the wife. Always remember..."When God closes a door, he will open another one even though there were hell in the hallway."

How does anyone know that she was not a cheater? Unless you are with her every hour of the day.When you cheat the key is to try not to let anyone find out.They both were already guilty of adultery (Luke 16:18) if more people spoke the "WORD" and not there own thought's then people wold not think they could do what they want in life.Read (Leviticus 20:10-16) and (Matthew 5:27-32) LaVerne was still sleeping with her youngest sons dad he liked her foolishly Kenny loved her and lost his mind when he found out. Yes God punished them both for adultery. Read The Word!

Comment Title: THE BIBLE SAYS, "THOU SHALT NOT KILL"
It is so sad when bad things happen to good people that there some folk that feel a Victim should be punished. LaVerne was a dedicated loving wife and not a cheater by any means. And more so than that, she IS a God Fearing Woman that in my opinion did not deserve to have her life nearly snuffed out like this. Nobody deserves to be killed and surely not by the hands of the Man that vowed to the Lord to take care of her, to Love her, Honor & Obey his spouse. But even with that said, I am asking each of you that know the Word Of Prayer to Pray for Laverne's full recovery but to also Pray for Kenny as well. Satan just took control of him. But God flipped the script!!! Thank you Father!!!!

Comment Title: GOD WILL BE YOUR SHELTER IN THE TIME OF A STORM!!!
God Bless you Laverne!!!!!! The Devil meant it for Bad, But God did it ALL for your good! We have the greatest Bishop in the World and he has taught us well. Our Pastor has taught us what to do in the time of a storm, and I know you were praying. WHEN YOU WALK THRU A STORM, HOLD UR HEAD UP HIGH. AND DONT BE AFRAID OF THE DARK! FOR YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE!!! God heard your humble cry! It seems like midnite right now in your Life but just know, Joy will come in the Morning time!!!!Continue to look to the hills from whence cometh your help, for all of your help comes from the Lord. Focus on your healing and entertain nothing but positiveness in your Life. You have a long road to recovery and we will be here for you! Remember God will restore everything that Satan thought he stole including your health. Be forever Blessed. In Jesus Name!!

Comment Title: No Sympathy!!
Thy Shall Not Kill and that is exactly what this man tried to do to his wife; that is very clear. GOD is in controll, that is why he protected the victim from all hurt, harm and danger. Thank GOD she made it; not many women do. Throw away the key and lock this man up for a very long time; otherwise, he might try it again and succeed with his mission next time. No real Deacon would even consider trying to take someone elses life; but a HYPOCRITING DEACON would. This man needs 50 plus yrs. for this crime. Don't waste taxpayers dollars on counseling; this man is evil.
