A jailed former sheriff’s deputy was indicted Thursday for child rape and murder more than a year after his deputy wife, a mother of three, was shot to death at their Tennessee home.
Authorities said that Tommy Duncan, 33, was served the indictments while still in the custody of the Campbell County Jail following his April 2023 arrest on charges that he raped a female victim multiple times. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) announced those charges while investigating the Jan. 31, 2022 shooting of Scott County deputy and school resource officer April Duncan, Tommy Duncan’s wife.
