How they died

Deadly force

Holman called police to confess killing his former wife and caretaker. Responding local and county officers were confronted by Holman holding a weapon and deliberately walking up, challenging the police and refusing their commands. He was shot to death by an officer who happened to be a friend of the family. There was no weapon, and the claim of killing his ex-wife was untrue.
