Weekend hikers made a horrifying discovery atop North Georgia’s Bell Mountain on Saturday morning: The bodies of two young men who’d been killed.
According to the GBI, the men, 19-year-old twin brothers, were identified as Qaadir Malik Lewis and Naazir Rahim Lewis. They were from Lawrenceville.
The hikers called 911 around 11 a.m., and the Towns County Sheriff’s Office called the GBI for assistance shortly thereafter.
Investigators believe the brothers died in a murder-suicide. No other details about the case have been released by officials.
Bell Mountain is about two hours north of Atlanta and is just shy of the North Carolina border. It is a popular site to visit for its scenic 360-degree views of Hiawassee and Lake Chatuge. It’s also known for its graffitied rocks, which Towns County allows.
