Two Convicted in Arkansas Murder

TWO MEN HAVE BEEN CONVICTED for murdering Alan Walker and sentenced to life in prison.

Walker, dressed as a woman, picked up Yitzak Marta and Adam Blackford outside a gay nightclub last November and took them home with him. The men beat and strangled Walker to death after Walker revealed to them that he was a man.

Judge William Storey declared, "This is nothing more than a hate crime. This person was killed because he was gay."

The Associated Press reports that Walker's body was discovered three days after the murder when neighbors became suspicious because of his absence and slashed tires on his vehicle. "KKK" in large letters was scrawled in blood on a closet door of the black man's home.
