12-Year-Old Boy Held in Double Slaying
MARIETTA, Ohio (AP) - A 12-year-old boy was being held Tuesday in the shotgun
slayings of his grandmother and aunt at a rural home, deputies said.
Nancy Tidd, 61, and Emma Tidd, 40, each were shot in the head with a shotgun
Monday, the Washington County sheriff's office said.
Washington County Prosecutor Michael Spahr said he would charge Christopher
Sturm with juvenile counts of delinquency by murder and delinquency by
aggravated murder. A 12-year-old cannot be tried as an adult in Ohio.
Deputies said Christopher, who was in juvenile detention, told relatives he
shot the women.
``From the information we have, the boy was upset at the grandmother, and that
led to the shooting,'' detective Jeff Seevers said.
Investigators said the boy divided his time living with his mother and
grandmother. He was found at his mother's home about six miles away in Lower
Salem, 90 miles southeast of Columbus.
The grandmother was unable to defend herself because of a medical condition,
and there was no sign of a struggle, Seevers said.
The bodies were discovered by a relative who went to the house to check on the
two women.
