The Madison County Sheriff’s Office said the body of 54-year-old Derek Franklin Walls was found inside a home at 1790 Capshaw Road.

Kyle Hayden Lewter, 36, was arrested and charged with his murder.

Now, a day after his arrest, Lewter is now additionally charged with sexual torture - sexual abuse using inanimate object. At this time it is unknown if these charges are related to the murder of Walls.
