Law enforcement authorities in Georgia have accused a man of murdering a 23-year-old woman and then using his cell phone to record the aftermath of the killing, which allegedly included a clip of him defiling the victim’s corpse, local news outlets reported.
According to the reports, prosecutors are claiming that 41-year-old Dennis Lane killed Mirsha Victor in his apartment on Hudson Bridge Road in Dekalb County on the night of July 8. He is charged with murder, false imprisonment, tampering with evidence, and necrophilia, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
WSB-TV also discovered that Lane has had serious trouble with the law in years past.
According to the report, Lane was convicted of raping a 10-year-old girl in Illinois, a crime for which he served approximately 17 years in prison before moving to Georgia. He was entered into the sex offender database but was not required to inform his neighbors about his crimes.
“Every day I would see this guy literally standing on his porch. For a long time, I thought he had children because he would watch the bus and watch the kids get off the bus,” a neighbor identified only as Darlene told the outlet.
