Jury trial set for Cole County man accused of killing ex girlfriend and her boyfriend
Brandon Rapier, a man accused of killing his ex girlfriend and her boyfriend in 2016, has a jury trial on March 11, 2019.
The victims were Ciera Kolb, a 27-year-old Cole County female and Micah Hall, a 27 year-old Jefferson City male.
Police said they responded to the 100 block of Grant Street at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 9, 2016 for an assault. When they arrived, they found Rapier’s ex girlfriend and her boyfriend with serious wounds. They both died from their injuries.
Court documents show Rapier posted to Facebook nearly twelve hours before the stabbing happened. ABC 17 News looked into the several Facebook posts from Rapier, which stated the following:
“I will have it no other way. I am judge, jury, and my favorite, executioner.”
“Never wanted to put anyone down so much in my life. Welcome to degradation.”
“If you caught your friend that you would betray in bed with your x that you loved to absolute death… How would you react? What would you do?”
A motion hearing will take place on Feb. 8, 2018. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
