A Sevier County man is facing charges after he stabbed his brother to death and “drowned, mutilated and incinerated” the family dog.
Deputies with the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 1000 block of Indian Gap Road Wednesday and found 36-year-old Thomas Carter.
Carter killed the dog and left the house, before returning with his brother, 41-year-old Jeffrey Todd, who he got into a fight with and stabbed multiple times.
Todd was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Carter is charged with second-degree murder and aggravated animal cruelty.
The investigation continues by the sheriff’s office and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
