ATLANTA — The owner of a car dealership killed two employees because they kept asking for pay raises, police said today.
Rolandas Milinavicius was charged in the shooting deaths of Inga Contreras, 25, and Martynas Simokaitis, 28. All three are from the eastern European nation of Lithuania but had been living in Atlanta, authorities said.
Milinavicius, who was having financial problems, told police he shot the two Thursday after they kept asking for more pay, said police in East Point, which is just outside Atlanta.
Milinavicius, 38, turned himself in two days after the shootings and confessed to the killings, telling them he was under a lot of stress, East Point police Capt. Russell Popham said.
“As I understand, the employees were not really happy about the pay, and they had questioned him about it over the course of time,” Popham said. “That morning he said he just snapped.”
At a jailhouse hearing today, Milinavicius listened through an interpreter as the charges were read against him. He faces two counts of felony murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and he was denied bond.
(Umm, sir, did you consider firing them first? I wonder how that went down. "Look, we've been here a long time and I think we deserve a raise." "You want a raise! I'll give you a raise...to Heaven!" Pulls out a gun and starts shooting.
In other news, Johnson & Johnson who recently announced the layoffs of 3,600 workers worldwide have just stated that rather than laying off the workers, they will be killing them instead. "Throughout our history, we have always taken a thoughtful, disciplined approach to address the challenges we face," said William Weldon, chairman and chief executive.
"These actions we are taking to improve our cost structure will save us money on benefits and enable us to continue investing for future growth and profitability.")
