after the Nov 26 killing the brothers changed their story and a grand jury indicted a convicted child molester Ricky Chavis for the murder of Terry King 40 at his home in Cantonment Two juries will be

cracking or hitting concrete” ut The boys said they set the house on fire caught a ride with a stranger and hid out in the woods until the next day when they got in touch with Chavis ‘who picked them up However Chavis later admitted that the boys called him from near their home immediately after the killing He said he picked them up took them to his Pensacola home and washed their clothes Later the brothers told the grand jury that they actually were outside their house when their father was slain and that Chavis confessed to them he was the killer Michael Rollo a lawyer for Chavis said at a

Walker said she believes Chavis a friend of die boys’ father initially convinced them they could take the blame and avoid punishment because of their youth "They found out they wouldn’t get away with it" Walker said “We knew they were hiding something” V In statements to investigators a day after the killing Derek said he swung the bat at ' his father’s head about 10 times as King slept in a reclin-e- r Alex said the killing was his idea because the boys were afraid their father a single parent would spank them for running away from home ' “I hit him once and then I heard him moan and then I was afraid that he might wake up and see us so I just kept on hitting him” Derek told NIBLEY — Helen Elaine Beckstead Swenson 88 passed away Thursday Aug 22 2002 at the Logan Regional ‘Hospital
