A British mixed martial arts fighter with a middle-class Edgware upbringing has been charged with the brutal, random killing of two women and a violent attack on a homeless man in Georgia, USA.
Random Murders Rock Georgia
Olaolukitan Adon Abel, 26, allegedly shot 31-year-old Prianna Weathers outside a restaurant before a drive-by attack left a 49-year-old homeless man critically injured. Abel then stabbed and shot 40-year-old Lauren Bullis while she walked her dog. Both women died from their wounds. Georgia police described the spree as “acts of pure evil” with no apparent motive.
Edgware Roots and Troubled Past
Born and raised in a £480,000 north London family home, Abel’s father is a former British police officer and prison warden turned author and artist. His mother works as a business analyst. Abel attended a local state school, excelled in MMA, and served in the Army Cadet Force. He moved to the US in 2019 and joined the Navy, but that service ended abruptly after his 2024 conviction for assaulting two police officers with a deadly weapon at Naval Base Coronado, California. He also pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual battery after groping a woman in Georgia.
Red Flags Ignored?
Despite his “comfortable upbringing,” Abel’s criminal record was rife with warnings — sexual assault, violent attacks on officers, and more. Many question how he remained free before this devastating spree. Now charged with malice murder, aggravated assault, and firearms offences, the former MMA fighter faces a bleak future behind bars.
“Acts of pure evil,” said Georgia police, describing Abel’s shocking attacks.
RIP to the victims. Our thoughts go out to their families.
