A 14-year-old Mississippi boy, his male police officer lover and two other men have been arrested in a twisted plot to murder the teen’s father, bury the body in a shallow grave and destroy the evidence, authorities and family members say.
Blake Thompson allegedly lured his father Kenneth Thompson, 53, into a trap in Pike County, Mississippi, with the help of Greg Fortenberry, 26, and LeJerrious Perkins, 17, on Sunday. When Mr Thompson arrived, the three suspects slashed his throat, killing him, according the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.
Blake, a teenage runaway, then enlisted the help of 25-year-old Jasper Pittman, a police officer in Brookhaven, Mississippi, to bury his father’s body in a shallow grave and burn his pickup truck, police said.
Family members told the Jackson Clarion-Ledger that Blake was ‘in a relationship’ with Pittman and had been staying at his house. Police charged Pittman with sexual battery and allege he sexually penetrated the boy.
Investigators later found the Mr Thompson body buried on Pittman’s property in McComb, a police report said.
