2-4-2009 Ohio:STOW -- A 45-year-old man accused of molesting two girls and holding a knife to their throats killed himself today, police said.
Kenneth S. Conway of Cox Drive was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his home after a 90-minute stand-off with police and the SWAT unit, Lt. Rick Myers said
Myers said police were called about a man who was sitting in a chair holding a gun and possibly contemplating suicide. While police were on the way there, they learned that two sisters, ages 12 and 13, had told their mother that Conway had held a knife to their throats and sexually assaulted them.
The girls sustained minor injuries from the assaults. Stow paramedics treated the victims for the injuries and they were sent to Akron Children's Hospital for examination.
When police arrived at Conway's house there was no response from inside. After 90 minutes of silence, SWAT officers entered the house. They found Conway sitting in a chair with a gunshot wound to the head and the firearm was laying on the floor nearby.
He was pronounced dead by Dr. Jo McMullen of Metro SWAT. The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office took the body. ..Source.. by Michael Sangiacomo/Plain Dealer Reporter
