Travane Brandon Jackson, 27, killed his girlfriend and their three children on July 17, 2019.

He fatally stabbed 29-year-old Jerrica Spellman, 2-year-old King Jackson, 1-year-old Kensley Jackson and 1-month-old Khristian Jackson.

Jackson had an outstanding warrant for violating probation at the time of his arrest, stemming from a domestic dispute with Jerrica in 2018.

Jerrica's brother, James Freeman, shared the confession footage he obtained from the Columbus Police Department with the Ledger-Enquirer, as the case is now closed.

The newly released info comes just three months after Jackson committed suicide by hanging himself in his Muscogee County Jail cell on December 30.

The reports on the investigation became public record after police cleared the case.

During the first interrogation with Jackson, an officer said: "There was more than just playful fighting going on because there were four dead people in your apartment."

He described how Jackson had left his apartment covered in blood.

When asked about his side of the story, Jackson appeared to admit his wrongdoings without hesitation: “I did it, OK? I killed all of them.

“I did it. I did it. I killed them all. I wasn’t thinking clearly."

Jackson fatally stabbed his eldest son in the neck and chest before killing his 1-month-old daughter and 1-year-old Kensley last, according to Ledger-Enquirer.

The news outlet obtained the police case files under Georgia’s Open Records Act.

Jackson's reasoning was that he didn't want anyone else to have custody of his kids.

He added: “I knew she couldn’t do it because she’s already dead. I knew I couldn’t do it because I was fixing to go to jail.”

According to Ledger-Enquirer, police questioned Jackson seven hours after he was arrested, and approximately 14 hours after the stabbings took place.

Prior to his questioning, police said Jackson was incoherent after it was believed he ingested whole bottles of over-the-counter painkillers to try and kill himself.

In another interview, two days after the stabbings, Jackson said: “I looked at my kids and told them I loved them and I killed them."

He recounted Jerrica was "still talking and breathing" as he killed their kids.

Jackson claimed that as he was stabbing their children, Jerrica said "she loved us and she was sorry for everything. And that was it."

He also claimed Jerrica stabbed him first as they were arguing over custody of their children.

Jackson allegedly took the knife from Jerrica, they fell, and he "just kept stabbing her," he told police.

When questioned about his reasoning for killing them, he said: "I don’t want nobody raising my kids. I don’t like it if someone else disciplines my kids.”

Jerrica was reportedly planning to leave and take their two daughters, whom she had custody over, with her - since Jackson had Custody of their son.

Jerrica’s older brother, James, admitted he doesn't believe his sister stabbed Jackson first.

He told the Ledger-Enquirer: “She did have a knife in the room, too.

“She was trying to defend herself, so they was actually having a knife fight with the knives, and he just got the best of her.”

James thinks Jackson used Heroin before the brutal murders and told Ledger-Enquirer: “I don’t believe that, without the substance abuse, he would have been able to do that.”

James revealed he now feels like he's "on a path to new normal" because he doesn't have to wonder how his sister, nephew, and nieces died.

“To me, it was more for closure, because I didn’t want to go throughout my life making things up in my own head, because I feel like the truth is always better, no matter how bad it hurts," he added.
