Former Chilliwack Chief found dead in upstate NY

When the police arrived at the off-campus building where Kelsey Annese, 21, lived, they found her body, along with those of Colin Kingston and Matthew Hutchinson, 24.

Annese was a member of the team, while Hutchinson played hockey at the school and Kingston was previously a member of the men’s basketball team. They say he then turned a knife, which he had recently purchased, on himself after a call to his his father saying that he had hurt Annese.

“Daniel Kingston called and reported that his son, Colin Kingston, just called from an unknown number and states that he murdered his girlfriend and that he’s also going to kill himself”, the dispatcher said in the recording.

Jeffrey Szczesniak, the public information officer for the Geneseo Police Department, said Monday that the attack took place in Annese’s bedroom, and there was a possibility the victims were asleep at the time.

Despite writing on his LinkedIn page that he graduated in 2013, SUNY Geneseo officials told that the former student had not in fact graduated from school.

There, he killed Annese and Matt Hutchinson, 24, possibly while they slept.

Kelsey Annese was a senior from Webster, N.Y., and a member of the women’s basketball team.

Before playing for the Geneseo Knights, Hutchinson played 130 games in the B.C. Hockey League, with the Surrey Eagles, Quesnel Millionaires, Coquitlam Express and Chilliwack Chiefs.

“We… believe that this is a situation where Mr. Kingston and Ms. Annese had been in a long relationship and recently had broken up”, said Szczesniak.

Police said sometime between 5:30 a.m. and approximately 6:20 a.m., Kingston showed up to 18 Wadsworth St., armed with a knife he’d bought at a local store.

“Kelsey will always be one of my all-time favorite players not because of anything she will have her name next to in the record book, but because of the type of person she was”, Hemer said.

An obviously shaken SUNY Geneseo President Denise Battles, who just assumed the presidency previous year, said the deaths are “heartbreaking” and said it is a “profoundly sad day”. Hutchinson played on the school’s hockey team and was also a volunteer firefighter. “I don’t know where the course is going to take us but we definitely know where we’re going to go”.

“Matt did everything at the highest level”, Chanler said.

He was also an active member of the Geneseo Fire Department, said Chief Andrew Chanler. The college about 35 miles south of Rochester postponed the men’s and women’s basketball games scheduled for Tuesday and were making counselors available to students and faculty. Last summer, Hutchinson spent the bulk of his summer break battling wildfires with the British Columbia Wildfire Service.
