Atlanta newlywed shot to death by husband

WTF????? eek eek

ATLANTA — Neighbors and co-workers of an Atlanta newlywed were stunned by her weekend slaying, and by the arrest of her new husband who was naked when police found him outside the couple's house.

"I'm totally shocked out of my mind," next-door neighbor Cynthia Jenrette said Monday. "It's just unbelievable."

Police say 29-year-old Minchillo McLester fatally shot his 25-year-old wife Madison McLester shortly before 5 a.m. Sunday after the couple returned from a Halloween party. He is charged with murder. The pair had just married Oct. 10.

Police say they have no motive in the killing.

Officers found Minchillo McLester wearing no clothes in a park across the street from the light blue house the couple shared.

Another neighbor, Terry Brown, said he couldn't understand the killing. Minchillo McLester, who legally changed his last name from Clark last year, always seemed like a nice guy and never seemed angry or under the influence of any drugs or alcohol, Brown said.

"He was a very cool guy," Brown said. "I was proud of them. They were a young couple who just got married and they were doing so well. They seemed like lovebirds."

The two seemed completely in love and never showed a sign of problems, Jenrette said.

"They were a very sweet couple," she said. "We loved them. They were like our children, they used to come over to the house to eat."

Madison McLester, whose name before she married was Roarabaugh, graduated from Georgia State University with a degree in accounting in December 2007. She was immediately hired by Georgia Pacific, where she had had an internship.

She was a well-liked, well-respected employee who worked well with her colleagues in the company's accounting department, said company spokesman Greg Guest. The company brought in counselors Monday to help her colleagues cope with her death.

Minchillo McLester was being held without bond Monday in the Fulton County jail. It was not immediately clear whether he had a lawyer.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

This is horrible. Just two weeks ago the niece of one my closest friends was murdered by her husband after only 6 months of marriage. rose pray

Burned body of DeSoto woman found in rural Mississippi

Kizzy Richardson Walker tried to leave.

On Oct. 15 — the day she disappeared — she went to the DeSoto apartment she shared with her husband, Greg Walker, to pack her belongings. She no longer wanted to face her husband's death threats, which her family said she endured during six months of marriage.

"She should've never gone to the apartment to get her things," said Kizzy Walker's great-aunt, Mary Holloway. "She should've just walked away."

Two days later, Kizzy Walker's burned body was found on a rural road near Lake, Miss., about 50 miles east of the capital, Jackson.

Investigators believe that Kizzy Walker was killed in Texas and taken to east Mississippi, where her body was set on fire, Scott County (Miss.) Sheriff Mike Lee said.

DeSoto police charged her husband, Greg Walker, 38, with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was being held in the Dallas County Jail with bail set at $350,000.

Greg Walker's attorney could not be reached for comment late Thursday.

"He's a very, very dangerous man, period," Holloway said. "To want to take a person's life when all he had to do was get his things and go …"

It wasn't like Kizzy Walker, 32, to abandon her job as a truck driver for Tyson Foods, her family members said. They grew suspicious and filed a missing-persons report with DeSoto police. The report eventually gave police the biggest lead in solving the case.

Will Jones, an investigator with the Scott County Sheriff's Department, said a partial fingerprint taken from the body matched the DeSoto missing-persons case and led to the arrest. Greg Walker was jailed last Friday, a week after his wife vanished.

In the days leading up to Kizzy Walker's death, her aunt Patricia Williams warned her niece about staying with her husband.

"I told her he won't change. He will not change," she said. "She was trying to get away from him. She was trying, she really was."

Services are pending.

Anything other than the death penalty would not be justice.

Unfortunately, that is most often the case.
