Mother of jogger who was raped, murdered by local farmer believes attack was 'premeditated'
Fox News
The mother of an Arkansas jogger who was raped and killed by a local farmer believes the attack on her 25-year-old daughter was "premeditated."
Lewellyn confessed to killing and raping the young nurse, allegedly telling medical experts that he "was driving to check the wells and the rice fields" when he spotted Sutherland walking along a gravel road. He turned his truck around after driving past her, but could no longer see her, which he attributed to dust from the gravel road. Lewellyn said he thought he had hit Sutherland with his truck, and believed her to be dead before taking her body to a rice field where he dug a hole, took off her clothes "and tried messing with her a bit." His attorneys told him not to elaborate when investigators pressed him. "You could tell it's kind of premeditated," a tearful Sutherland told Nancy Grace. "When someone turns around and goes back, it just, to this day, gives me chills to even think [of] what he did to my daughter because it was just a very cruel, evil thing. You know, he didn't just do one thing. He did everything, and it will never be out of my mind. It hurts deeply."More Related News
