Tuscarawas County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Orvis Campbell says two men accused of shooting and then burning a Strasburg couple are admitting they targeted them for robbery.
Campbell says 29-year-old Robert Clark delivered a repaired lawn mower to Doyle and Lillian Chumney prior to taking them from their home and killing them on January 22nd. He says Clark and 21-year-old Jeffery Stewart both confessed to robbing the Chumneys and then shooting them inside their car on a rural Coshocton County road. Campbell says the murders were premeditated because Clark had just purchased the gas can used to burn the couple.
