Ohio Man Denies Killing Woman Found in Septic Tank

LOGAN, Ohio -- The father-in-law of a woman found dead in a septic tank in southeast Ohio has pleaded not guilty to murder charges.

Forty-seven-year-old William Inman entered the pleas in Hocking County on Tuesday to two counts of aggravated murder and one count each of murder, kidnapping, tampering with evidence and gross abuse of a corpse. He could face the death penalty if convicted.

Summer Inman was found strangled March 29 in neighboring Athens County.

Her estranged husband, 26-year-old William Inman II, pleaded not guilty on Monday to the same charges and also could face the death penalty.

A jury indicted the men Friday. Both men have been in jail since they were indicted earlier on charges of kidnapping the woman. They are each being held on $1 million bond.
