LOGAN, Ohio - Jurors have begun deliberating on whether a man found guilty in the strangling of his estranged wife whose body was found in a southeast Ohio septic tank should receive the death penalty.
A jury in Logan heard testimony and closing arguments Thursday in the sentencing phase of 27-year-old William Inman II's trial, before beginning deliberations around 2 p.m. The same jury on Tuesday found Inman guilty of aggravated murder and other charges in last year's slaying of 25-year-old Summer Inman.
Authorities say she was abducted in Logan, then strangled with a zip tie and dumped in an underground septic tank behind a church in nearby Athens County.
Inman's parents also are charged in the death and have pleaded not guilty. Their separate trials are scheduled later this year.
