Victoria’s 9 month old daughter was also in the house but left physically unharmed.  Although he killed them in their home – he had come from his parent’s house – as at that point he had been charged with multiple sexual offences against his daughters Victoria and Elizabeth and they had secured a protection order against him.  Thought to be motivated by eliminating Jean, Victoria and Elizabeth as witnesses in the sexual offences case against him, Wholaver was convicted of the murders and sentenced to death. He sits on death row to this day.  This is the story of the Wholaver Family. Information and support Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid Rape Crisis Rape Crisis England & WalesNational Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline  References Com. v.
