Willie Morris, 57, was found guilty Tuesday of 10 counts, including first-degree murder, in the November 2016 death of 33-year-old Scottie Goodpaster Jr.
Goodpaster’s mutilated body was found Nov. 12 in a Harvey County field, about a week after the crime began in Valley Center.

Investigators say Goodpaster was tortured and a woman was forced to watch, stemming from $185 lost in a methamphetamine deal.
Sentencing was scheduled for May 18.
The four other defendants remained in the Sedgwick County Jail on Tuesday.
