Charles Edward Lennon Jr., 56, faces charges of capital murder by terroristic threat and tampering with evidence. Bail was set at $2 million.

His son, Charles Edward Lennon III, 29, also faces a charge of capital murder by terroristic threat as well as burglary of a resident and possession of a controlled substance. His bail was set at $2.25 million.

Police found the woman's body last week under a bag of bloody clothes, rags and a wooden bat as well as her purse and wallet, according to KLTV-TV. Police had been called to the home in Bullard after someone reported a foul smell.

The woman has been identified as 31-year-old Rachel Lynn Jackson, a Tyler mother of two.

Lennon Jr. told police that his son asked him to pick up Jackson and bring her to Bullard on July 2, according to KLTV. In his account to police, the man said his son later called for help with her body, which was wrapped in a blanket on the back porch, the station reported.

Lennon III told police he and Jackson, who had been contacted by police, had been arguing about his burglary warrants when she slapped him. He said he struck the woman in the head with a wooden "tire knocker," according to KLTV.
