The Massachusetts father of four wanted for shooting his wife, Breanne Pennington, allegedly wrote a note on his phone that read: “Put a hole in his head.”
Investigators discovered the disturbing messages after obtaining a search warrant for 30-year-old Aaron Pennington’s cell phone on Tuesday, a day before another warrant was issued for his arrest, according to WCVB.
It was dated 7:04 p.m. Saturday, the outlet said — the night before his wife of 30 years was found dead in bed with a gunshot wound to the face in their Gardner home.
“Do not say anything. Please silent [sic] If he wakes up, say you get nasal spray,” it read, according to a warrant obtained by WCVB.
“Gets on the side of the bed — very close to the head. Hole in his head.”
Pennington has been the subject of a desperate manhunt since Sunday when his wife was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the face in a bedroom after her children ran to neighbors for help.
