Judge Sets Bond For Suspect In Slaying Of NE Ohio Couple

Ohio Attorney General's Office

Bond is set at 2 million dollars for one of two men charged in the abduction and slaying of an elderly Tuscarawas County couple found inside their burned-out car in Coshocton County last month. 21-year-old Jeffery Stewart is being held on charges of killing 88-year-old Doyle Chumney and his 79-year-old wife, Lillian. The other suspect remains at-large. He is also wanted in connection with armed robberies in three states over the weekend.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
