Delaware County case cited as one of cruelest murders

Evidence in the plastic bag murders of three young girls is to be presented to the Delaware County grand jury. Prosecutor Duncan Whitney would not confirm if evidence will be shown. The mother Margo Davies remains jailed in Columbus in lieu of a 50 000 bond while attending triple funeral services in Newark. The girls Laurie Jo Davies Christine and Tonya were found in trash cans or fields in Delaware County and died of strangulation or suffocation. Pathologist Dr Robert Zipf called the case one of the cruelest he has seen.

Deaf mute defendant heads for trial in murder case

In Chillicothe Ohio James Robert Hunt a 24 year old deaf mute faces trial for the murder of neighbor Ruth Norleen Arledge 56. The defense planned not to put Hunt on the stand and the state rested after an early windup with a fingerprint found on a car door window tied to the victim. Translators assist Hunt who spent two years in a state mental hospital learning sign language. The remark about a coin toss underscores the statistical aside in court.
