Ohio mom's husband, father-in-law charged with her murder
/ CBS News
A grand jury has indicted Summer Inman's estranged husband, and his father, on charges of murder, in the death of the 25-year-old Ohio woman, according to the prosecutor's office. Inman's estranged husband William Inman II and his father, William A. Inman, were each charged Friday with two counts of aggravated murder. The two men were also charged with kidnapping, tampering with evidence, and gross abuse of a corpse.
Both men, along with the victim's mother-in-law, Sandra Inman, had previously been charged with kidnapping. Sandra Inman has not been indicted by a grand jury because her lawyer has filed a motion for competency hearing and a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, Hocking County prosecutor Laina Fetherolf said according to CBS affiliate WBNS-TV.
Summer Inman, a mother of three, was reportedly kidnapped March 22 from an alley in Logan, Ohio and her body was later found in a church septic system. William Inman II pleaded not guilty to all charges Monday, and his father is scheduled to appear in court for arraignment today, reports WBNS.
Summer and William were married in 2004, but separated last year. Since then she had been granted a civil protection order, the WBNS reports. In court documents pertaining to William and Summer Inman's divorce, Summer claimed her husband "threatened to kill" her if she ever "took the children from him." She also stated in the documents that her in-laws would "gang up on me to just work things out," reports the station.
Neighbors said that the Inman family was ruled by William Inman and referred to him as "hyper," "controlling" and "scary," according to the station. When a sheriff's deputy heard about the Inmans possibly being involved in the kidnapping and death of Summer, he wasn't surprised. "William Inman is their leader, like their king. They'll do what he says," he told the station. "They're blinded by loyalty and he's blinded by rage."
