Police said that when they arrived they found Barker standing on his front step, and when they asked him if everything was OK he responded 'yes', before adding: 'No, I just killed my wife.'
According to court documents seen by the Indianapolis Star, as Barker was led to a police car he told police: 'She's been trying to kill me all day. She wouldn't let me sleep.'
At the station, while being read his Miranda rights, Barker is reported to have interrupted the officer by reaching across the table and crumpling the paper he was reading from into a ball.
Inside the home officers said they found Jones, who had only been married to Barker since July, laying on the sofa with gunshot wounds to the face.
A Smith and Wesson .40 caliber pistol was found on the floor nearby, while 13 shell casing were recovered by crime lab technicians.
Jones's sons, aged 5 and 11, were asleep in an adjoining room at the time of the killing and are now in the custody of child protective services.
The murder was apparently witnessed by Jones's sister, who was sitting and smoking on the sofa with her when Barker came into the room. The sister said that Jones told Barker to put the gun away, and that he was scaring her, but he refused to do so.
Instead, the sister says, Barker walked around to the front of the sofa before unloading the weapon's entire magazine into her head.
The sister said she ran into a back bedroom before deciding to escape, then went back into the living room. There, she picked up the weapon and intended to take it, but thought better of it and dropped it before leaving the house.
Barker has been arrested twice before on domestic violence charges during previous relationships, but both times the charges were dismissed.
In 2007 he was charged with strangulation, battery and domestic battery, while in 2012 he was again charged with strangulation, intimidation, two counts of battery and two counts of domestic battery.
He is now being held in custody accused of murder.
According to the Indy Star, Jones drove buses and worked as a home health aide with the elderly in order to support her family.
Facebook posts in the days before she was killed show her at the mall meeting Santa with her son and a young nephew.
On December 13, just a day before she died, she posted an image of a Christmas tree in the family living room, saying: 'Christmas at the Barker's. Now who's going to help me wrap all these gifts?'
Devnee Kendrick, who identified herself as Jones's sister online, wrote: 'Oh Penny I can't stop crying sister, oh my God sister my heart aches for you.
'I just want my sister back. I have never felt anything like this. I just can't stomach this s***. I'm so sick Penny, I'm sick.

He's been a serial wife beater but this time he has met his waterloo. To shut your wife's mouth forever was ur best option against nagging?
OMG the man is a beast, if she did not allow him sleep why not leave the house so both of you can cool off!!!
Some men are just demons. So angry right now
Wicked man, u need deliverance coz ur possessed with evil spirits. RIP Penny Jones
My God, what is the world turning into?
Wonders shall neva end.
Wat is dis life turning to, pls sum1 shld explain, hw can u kill ur wife, its beta to divorce her rather dan killing.
I blame women on this. Why didnt she check the man's history and background before marrying him? The man had several cases of domestic violence with other women he dated before marrying his wife that he eventually murdered. He had a history of domestic violence with the police. Some women love with their hearts and not with their brains. Stmcheew
Devil @ work...may God help us...syn of end tym.
Devil @ work...may God help us...syn of end tym.
Rot in hell... Please put him in solitary..
I think most countries especially America should barn individual citizens from having guns even if they have licence to carry guns. Infact, they should revoke the licence to carry guns going foward. This will reduce the high rate of murder especially in homes.
Everlasting father, king of kings, i pray this day, that that man i will meet and at the end of the day will waste my life and destiny will nefa cross my path and if he does, i will irritate him and he will nefa look at me to say Hi. RIP to u madam.
*sigh* The demon of anger doing what it knows how to do best. Lord have mercy.
evil bred
Thats madness. He don colo
Let him face the law
#Hajia Mufliat
Some men are just callous!
I'm speechless!! May Devil punish you!! Idiat!!!

* live from river ethiope **
Enter your comment...This Barker guy is not normal at all...he should be sentenced to death immediately,, let him go and 'bark' in hell **spit**
My God!!! He is a beast and MUST rot in jail.
This man must have being abusive before but she never found the nerve to leave him till it was too late. Dear ladies, if a man as much as slaps you, please leave him, cos a slap will soon turn into a punch and then who knows?!
Devilish husband
agent of satan
for sure Barker is possessed....prison sentence will sure calm his nerves....RIP jones
You see. All these women putting loving pix of them and their husbands, some are pure lies just to cover up. You can't tell me this man hasn't been maltreating her all the while before deciding to end her but see loving pix on her facebk abi Instagram. Women, let's be telling ourselves the truth maybe u can get help earlier. End time husband
He's on drugs tbh
Owk this is where i approve of jungle justice...thats exactly wat someone lyk dis deserves...wat nonsense, mtchew.
Please sign up and report crimes, on www.pageomni.com
A man has a history of strangling his partners, battering them and all, and someone still wants to make a husband out of that kind of person(who has by the way not made attempts to get help), when will we women learn? Domestic violence is not acceptable, speak out ladies, girls, women..speak out, run as fast as your legs can take you lest you end up dead. RIP lady, God rest your soul and take care of the young ones you left behind
All the signs were there...woman why...rip
Obviously you are not married
Ezeh kindly explain further...
This is really disheartening! May her soul rest in peace....
End time killings. God help us
na wa ooooooo,,thats soo brutal,LORD HAVE MERCY.
na wa ooooooo,,thats soo brutal,LORD HAVE MERCY.
Ezeh is saying, what the husband did is understandable. Ezeh has probably thought about doing this go his/her spouse in the past. Ezeh should consider counseling.
The man does not deserves to live, so that other women can be saved
