ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A Tifton man has been found guilty in the murder of his 66-year old great aunt.

Friday, a jury found Layton Lester guilty on three counts of murder, as well as one count of armed robbery, burglary, and possession of a firearm during commission of a crime.

Lorraine Bozeman was shot to death during a robbery in her home on Collins street in Tifton in 2007.

Shurrod Kareen Rich was arrested along with Lester following the crime and he has yet to be tried.
