Bond denied for man accused of murder

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Bond was denied Thursday for Devasko Dewayne Lewis. Lewis, along with Jamarcus Akeem Clark are charged in the Jan. 14 slaying of Kerry Glenn, that reportedly occurred behind a manufactured home near Perry.

Glenn was the nephew of Corey Daniels, who is a co-defendant in a federal trucking case. He reportedly cut a deal with prosecutors in exchange for his testimony against Lewis.

District Attorney George Hartwig said at the bond hearing for Lewis that authorities believe he was going to pay Clark to take out Daniels. But Glenn was killed instead.

Hartwig said he just happened to be at that house and as a result “ended up with a bullet in the back of his head.”

Lewis, 35 and from Cordele, has yet to be charged in a related incident in Perry a few days before the murder, according to Hartwig. He said he expects to seek charges of conspiracy to commit murder or attempted murder against Lewis.
