Stuart Walker is reported to have been burnt alive A teenager has been charged in connection with the brutal murder of Scottish barman Stuart Walker. Eighteen-year-old Ryan Esquierdo was earlier questioned about the killing. Police had taken DNA swabs from Ryan and brother Robert as part of their probe into the death in Cumnock, Ayrshire. The body of 28-year-old Walker was found battered and burnt in the early hours of Saturday on an industrial estate after what police described as an “extremely violent and sustained attack”. The UK's Gay Police Association is calling for the murder to be recorded as a homophobic incident.
