Mark Anthony Ott, 32, is accused of murdering Malta, 43, who was found June 11, 2007, beaten to death inside his bedroom made sweltering hot from a burning oven and stovetop in the 600 block of Port Street. Malta was also found with a phallic-shaped sex toy shoved down his throat.
The sex toy was blood-stained and police recovered a partial hand print, so far not identified as Ott’s or anyone else’s. Investigators also collected an orange bucket and some paper towels stained with blood, said crime lab director Anna Duggar.
The killer tried to set the place on fire by sloshing around furniture stripper, the jury heard. Missing from Malta’s home were his car, watch, cash and one of his two Chihuahuas.
