The man accused of stabbing his girlfriend, Instagram influencer Beauty Katera Couch, to death before dumping her body in the woods and setting her car on fire has been formally indicted by a Georgia grand jury for murder and other charges, court records show.
Eugene Louis-Jocques, 21, of Florida, has been in police custody since Aug. 25, a day after Couch was found dead in Cobb County near Atlanta. He was indicted Oct. 5 on charges of murder, aggravated assault, arson in the second degree, concealing death of another and tampering with evidence.
Louis-Jocques used a “sharp force instrument to inflict multiple wounds on the upper torso area” of Couch’s body, according to a probable cause arrest affidavit.
As Law&Crime previously reported, the investigation began around 12:18 p.m. Aug. 24 when Austell, Georgia, firefighters were called for a brush fire. When they arrived, they found a vehicle fully engulfed in flames. They put out the fire and the car was taken to a wrecker yard. Austell police went to the home where the vehicle was registered, and they learned the owner’s daughter, Couch, 22, had not been seen since the day before, Cobb County Police said in a press release. She was the person who most used the vehicle.
Austell police searched the area near where the fire took place and found Couch’s body near the wood line.
