Two Raleigh County Murders Might Have Been Prevented
A tangled chain of incidents links the July 1918 Raleigh County murders of Suturi and Worrell. Ingram, charged with Suturi’s bludgeoning after a bad check incident, posted bond and was later arrested. Worrell died after an axe attack by his brother Ernest following prior jail time for drunk and assault charges. If arrests and sentences had proceeded differently, the deaths might have been prevented or postponed.
