The Cape Girardeau man accused of murdering his infant son will stand trial Tuesday.
Jury selection for Allen Walker's starts in Benton, Mo. today, and the trial will begin in Jackson on Tuesday. Walker is charged with second-degree murder and child endangerment in connection to the death of 7-week-old son in August 2010. Walker was watching his infant twins Aug. 22, 2010. When the twins' mother, Ashley Locklear, came home that day, she noticed bruises on her son's face and head. After scans and X-ray examinations at a hospital, the infant was airlifted to a hospital in St. Louis. Doctors in Cape Girardeau and St. Louis discovered skull fractures, bruising on the child's face and rib fractures that were already healing at the time of the child's death. The infant died four days later.
