Two Barren County women have been indicted on murder charges.
A Barren County Grand Jury indicted 71-year-old Donna Cheryl Logsdon and her daughter, 46-year-old Cheryl Leighanne Bennett, both of Glasgow, in the death of 75-year-old Charles O. Logsdon, also of Glasgow.
Charles Logsdon was Donna Logsdon’s husband and Cheryl Bennett’s father. He suffered from myotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), “a progressive nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing loss of muscle control,” according to the Mayo Clinic.
The indictment states that in July 2022 Logsdon and Bennett committed the offense of murder “when one or both killed a Glasgow man by turning off his BIPAP machine, which he needed to breathe.”
Donna Logsdon has been incarcerated in the Barren County Detention Center since her arrest on January 14. Cheryl Bennett was released from custody after her bond was lowered.
The Glasgow Police Department investigated the case. The Kentucky Attorney General’s Office of Special Prosecutions presented the case to the Barren County Grand Jury on behalf of the commonwealth.
