Arrest made in slaying of Kentucky man found in burning car

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — News outlets report that Kentucky authorities used armored vehicles and riot shields while arresting a suspect accused of shooting a man whose body was found inside the trunk of a burning car last month. The Herald-Leader said Monday that State Police arrested Cecil Russell on Wednesday at a Lexington home. He’s been charged with murder and evidence tampering in the death of Lazarus Parker. The Bourbon County coroner says Parker’s body was discovered Feb. 9 with gunshot wounds inside a burning vehicle parked in a barn. Russell is set to appear in court Tuesday. It’s unclear whether he has an attorney who can comment for him.
