Man Arrested for Killing His Mother in Central Florida
A man was arrested for killing his mother in Central Florida. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office charged the man responsible for the murder of an Eagle Lake woman.
According to local law enforcement, 21-year-old Gibson Nash was charged with 1st Degree Murder for the brutal killing of his mother, 56-year old Margaret Chu Dufour.
He was also been charged with Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving Injury. “Gibson Nash needs to remain locked away from the public forever,” said Sheriff Grady Judd.
“The way he murdered his mother was a mix of pure rage and extreme violence. After killing her, he caused two vehicle crashes on a busy road. He has no respect for others and is a clear threat to society.”
PCSO deputies first became aware of Nash while investigating multiple traffic crashes on US 27. At around 6:58am, deputies responded to a hit and run crash on US 27 and Holly Hill Grove Road.
The vehicle that fled was a blue 2022 BMW SUV. As the BMW fled, it struck another vehicle and continued fleeing.
The BMW crossed into the southbound lanes of US 27 and became disabled after it struck a third vehicle which was towing a trailer. A fourth vehicle became involved when it collided with the third vehicle’s trailer.
