Arkansas mother killed alongside her 6-year-old twins buried alone after children’s bodies turned over to abusive ex-husband

An Arkansas mother who was found dead alongside her 6-year-old twins near the tail-end of a bitter divorce battle was buried alone despite her family’s wishes after her children’s corpses were turned over to her abusive ex-husband.

The bodies of Charity Beallis, 40, and her 6-year-old twin daughter and son were discovered inside their Bonanza, Arkansas home during a welfare check on Dec. 3 — just one day after a divorce hearing where she was fighting for full custody of her children. All three had been fatally shot.

Dr. Randall Beallis, Charity’s convict ex, was previously arrested for domestic violence after he choked her at their home. He pleaded guilty to third-degree battery and was ordered to have no contact with Charity or any members of her family, unless authorized by a court order.

Now, he has sole custody of the twins’ corpses. He was originally awarded joint custody of the twins the day before they were killed.

Charity’s body was released to her eldest son, 24-year-old John Powell, and she was laid to rest on Dec. 29, according to The Daily Mail.

“It’s sickening. I was hoping to have them all in the same place, as they deserved and how they would have wanted it. It’s just been a lot,” Powell told the outlet.

Beallis was ordered to oversee the arrangement for his children’s burial, though it’s unclear when or where that may have taken place.

“I don’t even know if the kids have been buried, or cremated, or where they may be. I don’t know anything at the moment, because [Randall] has told me nothing,” he added. “It’s heartbreaking.”

During her months-long custody battle, Charity told her eldest son that she was “terrified” and confessed in a comment under a local news story that she was being “shut out” by those she turned to for help, including a local prosecuting attorney.

“I’m living this battle right now. I am the victim, yet I’ve been treated like the problem while the criminal — a local doctor — is being shielded by the very system that’s supposed to protect us,” she wrote.

“My voice, as the victim, has been shut out. This is not just about me — this is about a system that protects offenders and rejects victims. Lives are at stake, including the lives of young children.”

Heaps of the family’s belongings were recovered from a dumpster just three days after the grisly killings. A dumpster diver dredged up the concealed bag, which held an engraved gold necklace bearing the names of Charity’s son and daughter, framed family photos, and children’s artwork and homework.

Randall’s attorney maintained the doctor’s innocence in an interview with The Post.

The three deaths are still under investigation. Police have not named Randall as a suspect.
