Wrongful Death Man Charged with Murder in Brutal Beating of Elderly Man

Lexington Police have charged a man in connection to a homicide investigation after an elderly man was brutally beaten and found outside an apartment complex earlier this month.

Cory Don Etherington, 32, has been charged with murder in connection to the beating of an elderly man who was found outside Old Farm Apartments on July 11. The victim was found with various injuries and taken to the University of Kentucky Hospital where he later died.

Etherington was already in the Fayette County jail on unrelated charges when the murder charge was placed.

Lexington Police have not said how they linked Etherington to this crime.

Police said they believe someone had attacked the elderly man, hitting him in the head and leaving him bleeding heavily with life-threatening injuries.A neighbor found him in the breezeway of an apartment.

Etherington was arrested in 2013 after, police say, he punched his grandmother in the face then charged at officers. Officers say they had to use a taser on Etherington to get him under control.

Police said then that Etherington is bipolar and hadn’t taken his medication when he attacked his grandmother.

She was taken to the hospital and treated for a cut on the head.
