WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — An autopsy report says a Wichita woman who was raped, beaten and set on fire at a city park died of complications from the burns.
Sedgwick County officials say 36-year-old Letitia Davis was burned over about 70 percent of her body in the attack at Fairmount Park in November near the Wichita State University campus. The report was filed in court Tuesday.
The Wichita Eagle reports the autopsy also showed Davis had blunt-force trauma to her head, facial fractures and cuts. She died Nov. 22, eight days after the attack.
Cornell McNeal has been charged with capital murder in the attack. He remains in jail with a bond of more than $1.25 million. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 5.
