Convicted Double Killer Found Dead At Holman Prison

April 8, 2016

An inmate at Holman Prison in Atmore was found dead Thursday morning.

Bob Horton, public information manager for the Alabama Department of Corrections, said state inmate William Randall Triplett, 45, was found dead of an apparent suicide.

At 11:10 a.m., two corrections officers found Triplett hanging from a bedsheet in a one-person cell inside the prison’s segregation unit.  The inmate was unresponsive and a corrections physician pronounced him deceased 11:35 a.m.

Triplett was convicted of capital murder in 2003 and sentenced to life without parole for killing his father, Billy Triplett, and stepmother, Debbie Triplett, during the course of a robbery in Clay County in 2001.

Triplett’s death remains under investigation.
