Newly released details in the Kyle Lewter murder case paint an even more disturbing picture of how he allegedly tortured and killed long-time acquaintance Derek Franklin Wells.
***DISTURBING DETAILS BELOW***
According to recently filed court documents, investigators said Lewter, who is well known in political circles in north Alabama, tortured Wells, of Harvest, by penetrating his “anus area” with a plunger handle. He is accused of killing Wells by beating him with a hammer.
Wells was found in a home at 1790 Capshaw Road on March 7, but detectives believe he was killed the day before.
Lewter’s attorney has requested a mental evaluation of his client to determine if he is competent to stand trial and to determine if mental illness contributed to the offenses. A court filing requesting the hearing claimed Lewter has been committed for mental health issues and has been diagnosed with “a significant mental illness.”
