Lonell Hayes, the brother of the man charged with murdering John and Joseph Hooker and stuffing their bodies in a shopping cart, has been charged with burning the victim’s car.
Jackson County Circuit Court prosecutors are charging Hayes with one felony count of knowingly burning. A witness reported seeing Hayes with the vehicle shortly before it ignited.
The Hooker brothers were reported missing by their mother on May 26 — one day before their remains were found at 4501 Askew, wrapped in trash bags and duct taped and left in a shopping cart.
