A man jailed for murder in the burning death of Jessica Chambers is now accused in a new capital murder indictment — this time for torturing a woman in Louisiana before eventually killing her.

A warrant served on Quinton Tellis last week alleges that shallow knife wounds on Meing-Chen Hsiao's face and body probably were inflicted to get her to reveal the pin number for her debit card.

Tellis, 27, pleaded guilty in Louisiana to using the debit card and was sentenced to 10 years before he was extradited to Mississippi to face the death penalty if convicted of burning 19-year-old Jessica Chambers to death in 2014.

Chambers was discovered on a Mississippi roadside with burns all over her body.

According to the new Louisiana indictment, Hsiao, a 34-year-old Taiwanese graduate student at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, was stabbed more than 30 times on July 29, 2015. Her body wasn't found until Aug. 8.

Court papers note that evidence is circumstantial, because cleaning apparently removed all DNA and other physical evidence of her killer, according to the indictment.

However, they state, the circumstantial evidence 'points to only one suspect, Quinton Tellis.'

Tellis was already behind bars for the burning death of 19-year-old Jessica Chambers in December 2014

That evidence includes Wal-Mart security video showing them together on July 28, and a neighbor who said she had heard Hsaio arguing with a man she later identified as Tellis.

The man, she said, gave her a 'creepy feeling.'

Search warrants for phone and bank records showed calls to Hsiao's bank from Tellis' phone on the day she died, and GPS records showed Tellis probably was inside her apartment.

Eric Hill, whose cousin Chikita Jackson married Tellis in early August 2015, told investigators he had been told that Hsiao was stabbed and sliced to make her reveal the access code

After first trying to frame another man for the killing, court documents said, he said he had learned those details from Tellis.

The new indictment in Louisiana's Ouachita Parish won't affect Mississippi's trial, currently scheduled for next spring, said Panola County, Mississippi, District Attorney John Champion. Tellis' first court appearance in that case is set for July 15 in Hernando.

Chambers was found lying barely alive on the side of the road next to her Kia Rio sedan by a passing driver at 8.15pm on the night of her death.

The teen was then taken to hospital where her parents rushed to see her before she succumbed to the burns, which covered 98 percent of her body.

She had spoken to her mother on the phone little over an hour earlier, at 7pm, to say: 'I'm cleaning my car and getting something to eat and I'll be home.'

Police spent more than a year scouring the area and interviewing locals before arresting Tellis for capital murder.
