Who Is Eugene Welch From Varnville Incident? Mugshots
Eugen Welch is a 31-year-old from Varnville. He seems to be an Afro-American with a lump on his neck that lands him as a suspect in the murder of the man found dead.
The Hampton County Sherriff’s Office released a statement on Monday regarding the tragic incident.
His Facebook profile states he is employed in Pike Gas Services and at House of Raeford. Further, he attended Voorhees College for his studies.
Additionally, looking more in-depth inside his profile, he has shared an image with his family, who might be his father and mother. Also, the suspect has been sharing different posts on his account till 15 July, i.e., Friday.
Looking at the post he shared, he seems to like trolls and memes. At the same time, the suspect appears to have spent a lot of time posting, as he has shared tons of posts in a single day on his profile. It proves he used to be quite active on social media.
But coincidentally, since Saturday, when police found a female victim in her residence full of injuries, Eugene is also not active and has not shared any posts.
All the officials, including police, firefighters, and emergency medical services, arrived at the Kite Lane home on Saturday. The authorities provided information regarding the female that she was unconscious and unresponsive.

However, the mug shot of Eugen Welch has surfaced on the internet. Some believe he might have been involved in other crimes in the past, but the sheriff’s department has not provided information about that either.
