A 911 call revealed chilling new information about a double homicide in Hinckley Township.

"I just killed my brother and sister," Dean Simms said when he called 911 last Friday.

 "You killed your brother and sister?" the dispatcher asked. 

"Yes ma'am, I'm going away for life."

Simms, 42, was later arrested in connection with the murders of 52-year-old Cindy Gesaman and 45-year-old Randy Szychowicz.

He told the police dispatcher that he killed his siblings using a shotgun after "a lifetime of headache."

Simms several times told the dispatcher that what he was saying was "fact" and that it was not a joke. 

He appeared in court on Monday to face two counts of aggravated murder and is being held on $10 million bond.
