HOCKING COUNTY, Ohio -- One of the men accused in a Logan mother's murder tries to commit suicide in jail before going on a hunger strike.
William A. Inman Jr., 26, made an appearance in Hocking County common pleas court Wednesday.
The younger Inman is accused in the murder of 25-year-old Summer Inman, who was his estranged wife.
Investigators found Summer's body in a septic system on the property of a Nelsonville church Tuesday, March 29, 2011.
Summer's father-in-law, 46-year-old William A. Inman Sr., also is accused in her murder.
Her mother-in-law, 46-year-old Sandra Inman, is accused in Summer's abduction.
The younger Inman's pretrial hearing was set to update all involved parties on motions filed and case information.
During the hearing, the prosecution learned the younger Inman attempted suicide while being held in the Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail.
That's where he and his father have been since they first were indicted on charges of kidnapping. Later, they both were charged with two counts of aggravated murder and one count each of murder, tampering with evidence and gross abuse of a corpse.
Both pleaded not guilty to all charges. If convicted, the men both could face the death penalty.
Apparently, the younger Inman wrapped a cloth around his neck and tried to hang himself from a vent of some sort.
He failed and then went on a hunger strike.
The judge asked the younger Inman's lawyers if an evaluation for competency was required.
His lawyers declined, saying his actions were to get attention and the younger Inman didn't really intend to harm himself.
The lawyers said he could stand trial. The younger Inman was in the room and didn't object.
The younger Inman's trial is set for two weeks in January 2012.
The elder Inman's trial is set for two weeks in December 2011.
Sandra's competency to stand trial still is undetermined.
