Man pleads guilty to murdering father and uncle in Pulaski County

EUBANK, Ky. (WYMT) - A man has pleaded guilty to killing two family members in Pulaski County.

Pulaski County Sheriff Bobby Jones says Brandon A. Mullins, 28, appeared with his attorneys in Pulaski Circuit Court on Wednesday and pleaded guilty to the murders of his uncle, Anthony Mullins, and his father, Dennis Mullins.

The murders occurred on or about May 24, 2024 in the Eubank area of Pulaski County. On May 25, 2024, Anthony Mullins and Dennis Mullins were found dead in their home from gunshot wounds.

Detective Jay Picard was assigned the investigation. Through information and evidence he had collected at the scene and elsewhere, Picard secured an arrest warrant for Brandon Mullins, charging him with two counts of murder. Mullins was arrested on May 26, 2024 on the arrest warrant.

On Aug. 7, 2024, Picard presented the case to the Pulaski Grand Jury, who returned an indictment charging Brandon Mullins with two counts of murder and one count of tampering with physical evidence. The indictment warrant was served on Mullins, who was still in jail at that time on Picard’s arrest warrant.

Formal sentencing for Mullins is scheduled for April 6 in Pulaski Circuit Court.

“I want to commend the professionalism of my deputies and detectives. They never let up and did a very thorough investigation,” Jones said. “I would also like to thank Commonwealth’s Attorney David Dalton for his pursuit of justice in this case and sending a clear message that violence has no place in our county. Lastly I’d like to say thank you to Sheriff Shawn Hines and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office for their help on several occasions during this investigation.”
