A Mississippi man has been indicted for the burning death of Jessica Chambers.
Quinton Tellis, 27, faces a capital murder charge for allegedly setting the 19-year-old on fire in 2014.
Tellis is currently being held in Louisiana on charges relating to the 2015 stabbing death of 34-year-old Meing-Chen Hsiao, AL.com reports.
“This has been the most unusual case I have ever dealt with,” Panola County District Attorney John Champion said at a press conference on Wednesday. “Obviously the way she died was very brutal, very horrendous.”
Shortly after the word of the indictment let out, Ben Chamber said that his daughter's killer should never have been allowed out on the streets.
“I'm happy in one way and in one way I really don't know what to say. I'm so tickled they finally caught [Tellis],” he told People Magazine. “It's just one step now in a long process to get him back and get him tried.”
“I don't know [Tellis]. I know by his record or whatever that he never should've been out on the street," he said.
"The system failed, I know that.”
