Seaman Genesia Mattril Gresham, 19, of Lithonia, Georgia
Seaman Genesia Mattril Gresham, 19, of Lithonia, Georgia
The Gulfport Daily News, has published an interview with the mother of Seaman Genesia Mattril Gresham, of Lithonia, Georgia. Gresham was murdered in Bahrain along with another servicewoman on October 22 by a fellow navy serviceman. Gresham's mother says the killer, Seaman Clarence Jackson, was under a restraining order "and had been on suicide watch, after he allegedly attacked Miss Gresham less than four months ago. She blamed officials for leaving her daughter exposed to danger from a man she said turned nasty when she tried to cool their "casual" relationship. 'They knew his state of mind and after he had a restraining order he was on suicide watch, yet was allowed out and allowed to have a gun,' said the mother."
