>Scott Hapgood, 44, was charged with manslaughter after he allegedly killed Kenny Mitchel, 27, during his family’s vacation at the Malliouhana Resort on April 13.
>Hapgood, of Connecticut, has claimed that Mitchel arrived unannounced at their hotel room, claiming he was there to fix a broken sink that no one in the family had reported.
>Mitchel then allegedly tried to rob Hapgood, a banker at UBS, who claims he fought back in self-defense.
>Now Hapgood’s family have released an exclusive new photo to DailyMail.com of Hapgood’s daughters hugging their mother Kallie after witnessing the altercation.
>‘Not only did the children witness a deeply traumatizing attack on their father but then they had to further witness a chaotic process in which their dad was charged with manslaughter for literally saving his family from an armed attacker,’ Kelcey Kintner, the family’s spokesman, told DailyMail.com.
>Kintner told DailyMail.com that Mitchel arrived at the family’s hotel room just minutes after Hapgood’s daughters ‘walked back to the hotel room on their own’.
>‘The man knocked on the door, saying he was there to fix a broken sink,’ she added.
>Kintner said Hapgood had returned to the hotel room before his daughters because he and his son needed to ‘use the facilities’. His wife Kallie was not inside the room.
>Once Mitchel got inside, he allegedly pulled a knife on Hapgood.
