A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and child abuse, jail records show.

Andrew Wayne Franklin, 32, was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail at 7:20 p.m. on Thursday on suspicion of first-degree murder, child abuse and failure to comply, records show.

A Sedgwick County Jail booking report shows he was arrested by the Haysville Police Department.

Contacted by phone, the Haysville Police Department said the police report was not available Friday morning.

Zak Woolheater — speaking personally Tuesday about what he sees as a Wichita-area child abuse crisis — recalled noticing bruises and marks on his grandson Tony’s head and body in October. Woolheater tried to save his 2-year-old grandson from abuse.
