Hopkinsville couple arrested for strangulation of child

A Hopkinsville couple was arrested Thursday afternoon on charges related to strangulation of a child.

Hopkinsville police charged 27-year old Bradford Lynch, Jr. with first-degree strangulation and 29-year old Sheena Lynch with complicity to first-degree strangulation.

The warrants say Braford Lynch went into the room of his step-son in August and strangled him until his face turned red. He then went to another step son and allegedly strangled him.

He is also accused of smashing his step-daughter’s phone in the incident.

The children’s mother, Sheena Lynch, was present at the time and did nothing to stop her husband, according to the warrants.
