Charles Hammer, 81, is accused of killing the former police chief and sheriff, who arrested him in 2002 on charges of harassment, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
“It appears that there was an ax to grind,” said Trooper Billy Gregory, a spokesman for the Kentucky State Police post handling the investigation. “It appears to me to be revenge.”
The slaying has staggered people in Tompkinsville, a tight-knit town in the hills of south-central Kentucky, about 120 miles south of Louisville.
Five days after her husband was killed, Bernice Proffitt died.
Family friends described the cause of death as a broken heart.
Hundreds turned out for the funeral of the man known affectionately as “Sprocket,” a nickname that stuck since his teenage days of fixing bicycles at a service station.
