A 17-year-old half-brother has been accused of suffocating his toddler sister to demise before dumping her body in a plastic bin in the back of their South Carolina home, government say.
William Micah Hester now faces a murder fee in the loss of life of 4-year-old Joanna J. Lockaby, whose frame was once discovered through a search and rescue crew on Tuesday afternoon after she was once reported missing. Video from WYFF 4 showed that the world in the back of the house used to be wooded.
The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to The Daily Beast that Hester is being charged as an grownup. Local police officers haven’t said why he would kill his child sister. The Greenville News reviews he'll have his first look in courtroom on Wednesday afternoon.
For now, law enforcement officials say he is being held at the Greenville County Detention Center, roughly 17 miles north of his place of origin of Pelzer, South Carolina.
A mugshot released Wednesday confirmed what looked to be tears in his eyes as he stared into the digicam.
