A man viciously beaten during a Feb. 6 Super Bowl party died Friday, and the suspect charged in the incident is now charged with murder, said Bulloch County Sheriff Lynn Anderson. Marvin Carlton King, 49, Pike Road, suffered broken bones, brain injuries and a collapsed lung after Landon Lee Sowell, 19, Dyches Road, attacked him because he "made unwanted advances" towards Sowell' s girlfriend, Anderson said. Sowell was arrested Feb. 7 and charged with aggravated battery, but the charges were upgraded to murder after King died, he said.
