Father-in-law denies charges in Ohio woman's death

LOGAN, Ohio (AP) — 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 today 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 jailed on $1 million bond.
