Dean Simms was candid when he called 911 early Friday morning to report a crime.
“You should send like everything you’ve got to 2629 Babcock Road,” he said.
“OK, what’s going on there?” the dispatcher asked.
“I just killed my brother and sister.”
Simms, 42, of Hinckley Township, faces two charges of aggravated murder in the slaying. He’s being held in the Medina County Jail on a bond of $10 million while he awaits trial, after which he could face life in prison or the death penalty if he’s convicted.
According to the 911 call, which was released this week by Hinckley Township Police, Simms killed his siblings — Cindy Gesaman, 52, and Randy Szychowicz, 45 — with shotgun blasts to their heads.
“What made you do that?” the dispatcher asked.
“A lifelong of headaches,” he responded.
Later, he elaborated.
“I just couldn’t deal with it anymore, so I snapped,” Simms said during the call. “I’m sorry. Now I’m out of two siblings.”
He acknowledged the possible punishment, too.
“I’m going away for life,” he told the dispatcher.
According to police reports, Simms called police at 2:37 a.m. Police had been to the home about two hours earlier for a domestic dispute call that did not result in charges.
During the initial call, Simms was drunk and throwing beer bottles at Gesaman, according to police. Officers separated the two and left.
On the phone with the dispatcher two hours later, Simms told police that Szychowicz was dead on a futon in the home’s living room, and Gesaman was dead on a waterbed in a bedroom.
“Are they breathing at all?” the dispatcher asked
“Oh, no, no,” Simms said. “Their heads are gone.”
Gesaman had called police two other times since 2014. In June 2014 and October 2015, she told police the other brother she lives with, Szychowicz, was drunk and harassing her.
Police Chief Tim Kalavsky said on Tuesday that the killings were highly unusual for the sleepy township of Hinckley.
“It’s so quiet here,” he said.
The homicides were the first in the township since November 2007, when 26-year-old Patrick Ravas killed his mother while she was on the phone with a police dispatcher. Ravas later was sentenced to life in prison.
