One of the men convicted in the kidnapping and slaying of an elderly Tuscarawas County couple has been sentenced to 50 years to life in prison. 22-year-old Jeffery Stewart was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to multiple charges. Prosecutors say Stewart and Robert Clark kidnapped and killed 88-year-old Doyle Chumney and his 79-year-old wife Lillian in January 2015. Their bodies were found in a burned out car in Coschocton County. Clark is serving a life prison sentence.
