An Arkansas prison inmate accused of murdering a female correctional officer with his bare hands in the kitchen of the Miller County jail in December 2016 is competent to stand trial, Miller County Prosecuting Attorney Stephanie Potter Barrett said. Tramell Mackenzie Hunter, 29, is charged with capital murder in the Dec. 18, 2016, death of 47-year-old Lisa Mauldin. After beating Mauldin to death, Hunter allegedly attacked Correctional Officer Damaris Allen, beating her with his fists and her portable radio.
